Publisher's Synopsis

An anthology that reimagines Shakespeare's works from the perspective of the United States-Mexico Borderlands.

For decades, Chicanx and Indigenous theater-makers have worked to repurpose the plays of William Shakespeare to reflect the histories and lived realities of the United States-Mexico Borderlands, or La Frontera. Celebrating this rich tradition, The Bard in the Borderlands brings a wide range of Borderlands Shakespeare plays together for the first time in a multi-volume, open-access scholarly edition, creating space to tell stories of and for this complex and important region.

This second volume continues to celebrate the dynamic, multilingual reworking of canon and place that defines Borderlands Shakespeare, situating geographically and temporally diverse plays within the robust study of Shakespeare's global afterlives.
