If you’re participating in #ShareYourShakespeare or celebrating Shakespeare’s work, cool! But I urge everyone to also reflect on Shakespeare’s racial politics, the harmful racial ideologies of early modern England, and the outstanding work #shakerace scholars produce.
Right now, we are seeing many of these racial ideologies that were produced and reproduced on the early modern stage in our current moment, w/ East Asian people being attacked, the rapid rate of death for black & brown people, & the inequities of resources and medical attention
I urge everyone to take some time today to #ShareYourShakespeare by donating to some platforms that help fight white supremacy and nationalism during this pandemic:
