In this incisive study, Dani Snyder-Young examines audience responses to a range of theatrical events that focus on race-related conflict or racial identity in the contemporary United States. The audiences for these performances, produced at mainstream not-for-profit professional theaters in major American cities in 2013-18, reflect dominant patterns of theater attendance: the majority of spectators are older, affluent, white, and describe themselves as politically progressive. Snyder-Young studies the ways these audience members consume the stories of racialized others and analyzes how different artistic, organizational, and programmatic strategies can (or cannot) mitigate white privilege.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for scholars and students of theater, performance studies, and critical ethnic studies and for theater practitioners interested in equity and inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573235466391,"sku":"9780810142510","price":3971.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780810142510.webp?v=1774892311","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/privileged-spectatorship-theatrical-interventions-in-white-supremacy-9780810142510","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
