Volume 38, edited by Lisa Jackson-Schebetta, features three distinct sections: foundational studies in theatre history, a special section on hemispheric historiographies, and award-winning essays from the Mid-America Theatre Conference. Contributors examine topics ranging from Shakespeare and racial antagonism to systemic dramaturgy, labor unions in regional theatre, and digital diasporic activism. The volume also includes visual histories and decolonial methodologies that challenge Eurocentric narratives and foreground Latinx, feminist, and socialist performance traditions. With 272 pages and 18 black-and-white figures, this edition is a rich resource for scholars seeking to expand the scope and methods of theatre history.
