Native Shakespeares: Indigenous Appropriations on a Global Stage

By: Kapadia, Parmita

Explored in this essay collection is how Shakespeare is rewritten, reinscribed and translated to fit within the local tradition, values, and languages of the world's various communities and cultures. Regardless of the medium-theater, pedagogy, or literary studies-Native Shakespeares examines how the persistent indigenization of Shakespeare's work complicates the traditional vision of his work as a voice of Western culture and colonial hegemony.
