Race may dominate everyday speech, media headlines and public
policy, yet still questions of racialized blackness and whiteness
in Shakespeare are resisted. In his compelling new book Ian Smith
addresses the influence of systemic whiteness on the interpretation
of Shakespeare's plays. This far-reaching study shows that
significant parts of Shakespeare's texts have been elided,
misconstrued or otherwise rendered invisible by readers who have
ignored the presence of race in early modern England. Bringing the
Black American intellectual tradition into fruitful dialogue with
European thought, this urgent interdisciplinary work offers a deep,
revealing and incisive analysis of individual plays, including
Othello, The Merchant of Venice and Hamlet. Demonstrating how
racial illiteracy inhibits critical practice, Ian Smith provides a
necessary anti-racist alternative that will transform the way you
read Shakespeare.
