Recenzje

'An important critical intervention, Shakespeare, Blackface and Race examines Dutch performances of Othello and their complicated relationships to the history of blackface. In doing so, Heijes invites the reader to think through race and performance from a much-needed global perspective. The book is timely and necessary.' Ayanna Thompson, Director, Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Arizona State University
