Description
Book SynopsisIn 1971, Canada became the first country to adopt an official policy of multiculturalism.
Performing the Intercultural City explores how Toronto - a representative global city in this multicultural country - stages diversity through its many intercultural theatre companies and troupes.
Trade ReviewReaches beyond the particular context of Toronto to engage the issues of cosmopolitan cultural formations in the 21st century. Artists will be engaged by the case studies that explore unique dramaturgies and aesthetics, and academics by this in-depth study in the performativity of culture and identity formation. The book extends a model for studying intercultural dynamics in new ways."" - Ann Elizabeth Armstrong, Miami University of Ohio
""Challenges us to develop a holistic methodology that honors the full complexity of the intercultural. [The book’s] deft integration of contemporary critical approaches with indigenous ontologies and participatory ethnography is a magnificent achievement, one that will impact our field deeply."" - Leo Cabranes-Grant, University of California, Santa Barbara
