Habib, Imtiaz H. Shakespeare and Race: Postcolonial Praxis in the Early Modern Period. Latham: University Press of America, 2002.
Explores the racializing projects specific to Shakespeare's context of 16th-century England, with special reference to captives and enslaved persons. Habib's project illuminates the connections between the race-making projects held on Elizabethan stages at the beginnings of English colonialism, as well as the impact of Black persons in England on Shakespeare's plays themselves. The work engages conversations in the study of England, English literature, Shakespeare, and colonialism.
