(Re)Constructing Maternal Performance in Twentieth-Century American Drama

by B McDaniel and L. Bailey McDaniel

Book Overview

Looking at a century of American theatre, McDaniel investigates how race-based notions of maternal performance become sites of resistance to cultural and political hierarchies. This book considers how the construction of mothering as universally women's work obscures additional, equally constructed subdivisions based in race and class.
