{"product_id":"shakespeares-white-others-david-sterling-brown-9781009384162","title":"Shakespeare's White Others","description":"Examining the racially white 'others' whom Shakespeare creates in characters like Richard III, Hamlet and Tamora - figures who are never quite 'white enough' - this bold and compelling work emphasises how such classification perpetuates anti-Blackness and re-affirms white supremacy. David Sterling Brown offers nothing less here than a wholesale deconstruction of whiteness in Shakespeare's plays, arguing that the 'white other' was a racialized category already in formation during the Elizabethan era - and also one to which Shakespeare was himself a crucial contributor. In exploring Shakespeare's determinative role and strategic investment in identity politics (while drawing powerfully on his own life experiences, including adolescence), the author argues that even as Shakespearean theatrical texts functioned as engines of white identity formation, they expose the illusion of white racial solidarity. This essential contribution to Shakespeare studies, critical whiteness studies and critical race studies is an authoritative, urgent dismantling of dramatized racial profiling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Sterling Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009384163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009384162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 0.87d","brand":"David Sterling Brown","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44159299158271,"sku":"9781009384162","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d812ccba-f739-469f-92c8-728dc385e3a8.jpg?v=1689081777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeares-white-others-david-sterling-brown-9781009384162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
