This volume explores the adaptations of Greek tragedy, performances, and activism of playwright Luis Alfaro and their impact on the field of Classics, classroom instruction, and community outreach.The chapters in this volume are organized into three parts. Part One includes contributions that demonstrate how Alfaro’s reimagining of Greek tragedy has generated fascinating and complex lines of inquiry and comparison for Classical Studies scholars and those working on classical reception. Part Two takes readers into the classroom, showing how teachers of Greek tragedy and Classical Studies more broadly have used Alfaro’s plays as teaching tools, particularly for challenging subjects. Part Three examines the impact of Alfaro’s work in the broader community, exploring how his approach to writing and activism has benefited artists, activists, and local communities.Reimagining Classics, the Classroom, and Community with Luis Alfaro is of interest to those working on Alfaro’s life and works, as well as students, scholars, and teachers of classical reception, Greek tragedy, theater, Latin and Latin American studies, Chicanx studies, and community outreach and activism.
