Performance, Exile and ‘America’ cover

This collection investigates dramatic and performative renderings of 'America' as an exilic place particularly focusing on issues of language, space and identity. It looks at ways in which immigrants and outsiders are embodied in American theatre practice and explores ways in which 'America' is staged and dramatized by immigrants and foreigners.

'a fresh critical perspective on exilic discourse...This collection introduces a stimulating approach to understanding the diversity of exilic experiences, emphasizing that the ways in which exile is experienced in reality and fantasy cannot be exhausted in a single collection.' - Contemporary Theatre Review
