Kathryn Vomero Santos is Associate Professor of English at Trinity University, USA. She is a co-founder of the award-winning Borderlands Shakespeare Colectiva and the co-editor of several books, including The Bard in the Borderlands: An Anthology of Shakespeare Appropriations en La Frontera (with Katherine Gillen and Adrianna M. Santos).

Shakespeare in Tongues is a sharp, ingenious, and urgent exploration of the reach and limits of Shakespeare’s linguistic legacy. With impressive breadth and deftness, this book shows us how issues of race, land, and language are deeply intertwined, and how they influence imaginings of Shakespeare’s purchase today.—Ruben Espinosa, Director of the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Arizona State UniversityA must-read for those interested in how Indigenous and Latine artists repurpose Shakespeare’s works to resist the colonial and racist ideologies underpinning U.S. education. Rather than equating Shakespeare with English, Shakespeare in Tongues opens up space for more multicultural, polylingual, and liberating engagements with his works.—Carla Mazzio, author of The Inarticulate Renaissance: Language Trouble in an Age of Eloquence
