🚨#ShakeRace🚨Our
@jnlamstudies Forum, “#Shakespeare and #Black America” before the 2020 print publication if you have access to the
@CambridgeCore platform. Just in time for our #RaceB4Race discussions on appropriation! Buckle up--Tweetstorm a' comin' #LitPOC #MedievalTwitter

2/ These essays are short and, not just accessible, but actually enjoyable (IMHO). I’m always tweeting stuff for you to check out, but this time you don’t have to listen to just me. (Although y'all most def should listen to me) + #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #LitPOC

3/ Look at this referee comment. Now you KNOW you need to read these if you are interested in #appropriation #pedagogy #theater #Activism #archives #BlackHistory! Thanks generous and insightful reviewer!! #ShakeRace #RaceB4Race #LitPOC #ShaxCultApp

17/ This forum happened because @SAAupdates seminars can be great collaborative spaces. Publication came about through the synergy of @NatlHumanities +

18/ There I met Celeste Marie Bernier. We were both Fellows @NatlHumanities the semester of the infamous #Shakenado SAA. At an art exhibit I described our #ShakeRace seminar—once she realized the focus was equally on Shakespeare AND America, she hyped Journal of American Studies

Since clicks are the coin of the realm I hope you will take a look now & encourage colleagues & students to take a look as well. Thanks to the Journal Editors & production staff. Thanks to the Contributors for bringing that #ShakeRace Magic--see you in print soon!! Whew! Finis!

And by the way, we couldn't pay thousands of $$$$ PER ESSAY for open access, but I suspect folx would be happy to share if you don't have institutional access.
