The volume is a collection of scholarly essays and personal
responses that contextualizes Hamilton: An American Musical in
various frameworks: hip-hop theatre and history, American history,
musicals, contemporary politics, queer theory, feminism, and more.
Hamilton is arguably the most important piece of American theatre
in 25 years in terms of both national impact and shaping influence
on American theatre. It is part of a larger history of American
theatre that reframes the United States and shows the nation its
face in a manner not before seen but that is resolutely true. With
essays from a number of scholars, artists, political scientists,
and historians, the book engages with generational differences in
response to the play, transformations of the perception of the
musical between the Obama and Trump administrations, youth culture,
color-conscious casting, feminist critiques, comparisons with
black-ish, The Mountaintop, Assassins, and In the Heights, as well
as Hamilton's place in hip hop theatre.
