Ebook: Shakespeare in the Global South: Transcolonial Solidarities across Oceans of Difference: Stories of Oceans Crossed in Contemporary Adaptation

Shakespeare in the Global South proposes the critical frame provided by the idea of a Global South in order to theorize cultural difference. It looks sideways across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans to a variety of non---traditional centres of Shakespeare theatre--making to explore the solidarities and affinities not as evident in Stratford's Shakespeare. It takes its lead from innovative theatre practice in Mauritius, Cape Verde, north India, and post-apartheid South Africa, to assess the value for cultural theory of conceptualising the transformation of Shakespeare across the world as indigenisation, creolisation, Africanisation, and localisation of endlessly transforming iterations of Shakespeare's work.
