Thompson, Ayanna, ed. The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and Race. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021.
A collection of essays discussing the racialized elements with which all of Shakespeare's works are invested. The essays draw upon a wide range of source materials from a variety of contexts to interrogate how race has been constructed through the prism of Shakespeare. The compendium as a whole engages conversations in the study of Shakespeare, global history, postcolonialism, performance studies, Blackness, and more.
