Shakespeare in TonguesAuthor(s): Kathryn Vomero Santos\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781032274508, 978-1032274508\nSynopsis\nShakespeare in Tongues interrogates the popular conflation of the language of Shakespeare with English by examining the role Shakespeares works have played in overlapping histories of colonialism, slavery, and migration that continue to shape the linguistic cultures of the United States.\n\nOpening up urgent and overdue conversations about linguistic oppression, racism, and resistance within the settler colonial nation-state, Kathryn Vomero Santos draws our attention to artists, activists, and educators who have conjured, embraced, remade, and rejected Shakespeare in service of multilingual counternarratives that push back against dominant perspectives, refuse assimilation, and strive for more polyglot and polyvocal futures. As they shine a bright light on the legacies of the federal Indian.
