Premodern critical race studies, deeply entwined with Shakespeare studies, have expanded our understanding of the definitions and discourses of race and racism to encompass not only physical characteristics but also religious and political identities, regional, national, and linguistic differences, and systems of differentiation based on culture and custom. This field has been enriched with new interpretations of Shakespeare's plays and poems, as seen in The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Race, which brings together esteemed scholars exploring the subject. The handbook provides a comprehensive survey of the most influential theoretical and methodological frameworks, including critical race theory, feminist, and postcolonial studies. It also delves into the intricate intersections of race with queer, trans, disability, and indigenous studies, offering fresh perspectives. Additionally, the volume showcases a diverse range of new approaches, such as ecocriticism, animality, and human rights, from book history to scholarly editing and repertory studies. Furthermore, it explores Shakespeare and race in our contemporary context through discussions of political activism, pedagogy, visual arts, film, and theatre. Throughout the collection, the voices of practicing theatre professionals who have navigated the complexities of race and racism in performance and the profession are heard, adding valuable insights and experiences.
