The theatre has always been a place where conceptions of race and racism have been staged, shared and perpetuated. Harvey Young introduces key ideas about race, before tracing its relationship with theatre and performance - from Ancient Athens to the present day.

"An enjoyable book that is easy to follow and offers an interesting, jargon-free, account of a wide range of complex issues." - Lynette Goddard, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK
