Performance, Exile and ‘America’

“Performance, Exile and ‘America’” by S. Jestrovic, published by Palgrave Macmillan UK on October 22, 2009, offers a detailed exploration of the concept of ‘America’ as an exilic space. This edition spans 266 pages and is presented in English. The book investigates how dramatic and performative interpretations of America reflect the experiences of immigrants and outsiders, particularly through the lenses of language, space, and identity.

Readers will find a thorough examination of how American theatre practices embody the narratives of those who are often marginalized. The collection delves into the ways in which immigrants and foreigners stage and dramatize their experiences, contributing to a broader understanding of cultural and social dynamics within the American context. By focusing on themes related to performing arts, social history, and literary criticism, this work provides valuable insights into the intersection of identity and performance in the American theatrical landscape.
