"This book offers a unique and wonderfully broad collection of essays that introduce the reader to an important and little-known trend in Shakespeare and theatre studies. The editors have included essays by leading theatre artists, playwrights, directors, actors and scholars who celebrate Shakespeare as seen through the multiple perspectives of Latinx Shakespeares as performance, as literature and as community-building through professional and community-based theatre companies from coast to coast.
