The vignettes, short and well written in an easily readable style,
bring history to life with the humor and drama of the people who
settled Texas.
The Revolutionary Rhetoric of Hamilton analyzes traditional
conceptions about the musical, Hamilton, American history, and
current political disputes. This scholarly exploration of Hamilton
encourages audiences to interpret this popular cultural force in a
new way by revealing that the musical confronts conventional
conceptions of American history, racial equity, and political
power. Several chapters in this volume directly address recent
controversies and conversations surrounding Hamilton, including the
#CancelHamilton trend on social media, the musical's depiction of
slavery, and its intersections with the Black Lives Matter
movement. Contributors explore how the musical offers social
commentary on issues such as immigration and gender equity and how
Hamilton re-considers the roles of theatre in making social
statements, especially relating to the narrator, the role of the
curtain speech, and musical traditions. Chapters within the book
employ multiple novel theoretical approaches and
perspectives-including public memory, feminist rhetorical
criticism, disability studies, and sound studies-to reveal new
insights about this beloved show. Scholars of theatre studies,
media studies, and communication studies will find this book
particularly useful.
