Preston\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this incisive critique of the ways performances of allyship can further entrench white privilege, author Carrie J. Preston analyses her own complicit participation and that of other audience members and theater professionals, deftly examining the prevailing framework through which white liberals participate in antiracist theater and institutional \"diversity, equity, and inclusion\" initiatives. The book addresses immersive, documentary, site-specific, experimental, street, and popular theatre in chapters on Jean Genet's \u003cem\u003eThe Blacks\u003c\/em\u003e, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's\u003cem\u003e An Octoroon\u003c\/em\u003e, George C.

Far from abandoning the work to dismantle institutionalized racism, Preston seeks to reveal the contradictions and complicities at the heart of allyship as a crucial step toward full and radical participation in antiracist efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarrie J.
