Beskrivning

Arguing that the cultures of small nations offer vital insights into the way people relate to national identity in a globalized world, Theatre and Performance in Small Nations features an array of case studies that examine the relationships between theatre, performance, identity and the nation. These contributions cover a wide range of national contexts, including small 'stateless' nations such as Catalonia, Scotland and Wales; First Nations such as indigenous Australia and the Latino United States; and geographically enormous nations whose relationships to powerful neighbours radically affect their sense of cultural autonomy.
