The Necropolitical Theater: Race and Immigration on the
Contemporary Spanish Stage demonstrates how theatrical production
in Spain since the early 1990s has reflected national anxieties
about immigration and race. Jeffrey K. Coleman argues that Spain
has developed a "necropolitical theater" that casts the
non-European immigrant as fictionalized enemy - one whose
nonwhiteness is incompatible with Spanish national identity and
therefore poses a threat to the very Europeannes of Spain. The fate
of the immigrant in the necropolitical theater is death, either
physical or metaphysical, which preserves the status quo and
provides catharsis for the spectator faced with the notion of
racial diversity. Marginalization, forced assimilation, and
physical death are outcomes suffered by Latin American, North
African, and sub-Saharan African characters, respectively, and in
these differential outcomes determined by skin color Coleman
identifies an inherent racial hierarchy informed by the legacies of
colonization and religious intolerance. Drawing on theatrical
texts, performances, legal documents, interviews, and critical
reviews, this book challenges Spanish theater to develop a new
theatrical space. Jeffrey K. Coleman proposes a "convivial theater"
that portrays immigrants as contributors to the Spanish state and
better represents the multicultural reality of the nation today.
