{"product_id":"race-in-william-shakespeares-othello-vernon-elso-johnson-9780737758146","title":"Race in William Shakespeare's Othello","description":"When decorated Moorish general Othello appoints Cassio as his chief lieutenant, Iago gets jealous and plots revenge, alleging that Othello's wife, a much younger white woman, is having an affair with Cassio. In many ways, Shakespeare's Othello remains a potent expression of race and racism three-hundred years after its publication. This volume offers compelling interpretations of the actions and the characters that have made this play so controversial. Essays discuss the question of Othello's color, the contradictory notions of black and white in the play, sexuality and racial difference, and whether Desdemona's marriage to Othello incites racism. Contributors include Ania Loomba, Peter Ackroyd, and Doris Adler.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Elso Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0737758147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780737758146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenhaven Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Vernon Elso Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947020943615,"sku":"9780737758146","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_27e40f23-b091-4c10-9c2d-de6bcb0b2a10.jpg?v=1681516238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/race-in-william-shakespeares-othello-vernon-elso-johnson-9780737758146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
