Global Shakespeares
Content:
Shakespeare in Cuba: Caliban's Books explores how Shakespeare is consumed and appropriated in Cuba. It contributes to the underrepresented field of Latin American Shakespeares by applying the lens of cultural anthropophagy, a theory with Latin American roots, to explore how Cuban artists ingest and transform Shakespeare's plays. By consuming these works and incorporating them into Cuban culture and literature, Cuban writers make the plays their own while also nourishing the source texts and giving Shakespeare a new afterlife. Donna Woodford-Gormley is a Professor of English Literature at New Mexico Highlands University, USA. She has been researching and writing on Shakespeare in Cuba since 2004, and she has published several articles and book chapters on this subject.
