Brown, David Sterling. Shakespeare’s White Others. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2023.
Explores the construction of the white other in the works of Shakespeare. The book draws upon case studies from Macbeth, Titus Andronicus, and other plays to demonstrate how Shakespeare produced “blackened whiteness” to continue affirming white supremacy in contrast to Blackness, even in the absence of demarcated Black figures. The book engages conversations in the study of Shakespeare, Blackness, and literature.
