About the Book

This book is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that delves beneath the media headlines about the “migration crisis”, Brexit, Trump and similar events and spectacles that have been linked to the intensification and proliferation of stereotypes about migrants since 2015.  Topics include the representations of migration and stereotypes in citizenship ceremonies and culinary traditions, law and literature, and public history and performance. Bringing together academics in the arts, humanities and social sciences, as well as artists and theatre practitioners, the collection equips readers with new methodologies, keywords and collaborative research tools to support critical inquiry and public-facing research in fields such as Theatre and Performance Studies,  Cultural and Migration Studies, and Applied Theatre and History.

Review :
"The chapters are inspired by the authors' personal experiences, interactions, and professional engagement in performances and events that engage immigrants and minorities. ... The scope of information presented in this remarkable volume is impressive. Almost every chapter not only analyzes the events described but also triggers the reader's desire to search the web to see the event or learn more about it." (Dorota Praszalowicz, The Polish Review, Vol. 70 (2), 2025)
