>Southern Illinois University Press announces a new book series:
>
>THEATER IN THE AMERICAS
>
>Series Editor:
>Robert A. Schanke, Central College
>
>The goal of the series is to publish a wide range of original scholarship on
>the subject of theater and performance in the Americas, defining theater in
>its broadest terms and including subjects which encompass all of the
Americas.
>
>Although it accommodates studies about dramatic literature, it focuses more
>on the performance and production of theater and theater
>artists/practitioners. Purposefully inclusive, the series welcomes studies
of
>the traditional, professional, "legitimate" forms of theater as performed in
>theater buildings, but it invites equally studies of popular theater and
>ethnic theater and embraces studies of celebrations, festivals, and holidays
>that perform culture as well as rituals such as weddings and acts of civil
>disobedience which are performative in nature. Because of the current
>emphasis and political focus on multicultural diversity, we seek proposals
on
>subcultures and minorities that are part of the United States dominant
>culture — African/American, Latino, Asian, women, gay/lesbian — and we
hope
>to publish studies of the theater and performance activities of subcultures
>and minorities in all of the Americas, whether they be biographies of
>individuals, histories of theater companies, studies of subcultural
>traditions, or collections of plays.
>
>The intent is to recover and spotlight neglected stories of theater and
>performance in the Americas. This might include publishing out-of- print
>books as well as translations of significant books that are not available in
>English. Theater in the Americas advances the "global mission" of the press,
>and it reaches out to attract manuscripts from an international corps of
>authors.
>
>Rather than appealing to just an academic readership, we aim for a "global
>readership," meaning academic, general, and international audiences. Because
>of this target audience, we hope that many books in the series will be
>published simultaneously in paper and cloth.
>
