Othello's anxiety about narrative accuracy exposes his fear over his story's potential misrepresentation. As the first monograph to examine \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e's history of contemporary reanimations, \u003ci\u003eReanimating Shakespeare's \u003c\/i\u003eOthello\u003ci\u003e in Post-Racial America \u003c\/i\u003etakes up this question of retelling Othello's story, turning to the play as re-crafted in a time and place imagined as having overcome racial injustice: post-racial America (2008-2016). This book analyses representations of Othello across genres and media including podcasts, television, film, graphic novels and performance, and argues that these representational choices of \u003ci\u003eOthellos\u003c\/i\u003e perpetuate varying racial frameworks that advance antiblack or antiracist versions of the play. By elucidating the presence and function of these competing frameworks, it illuminates and explains how to wrestle with the intersections between Shakespeare, \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e and the American racial imaginary in appropriations, scholarship, the classroom and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanessa I.
