Migration and Stereotypes in Performance and Culture

“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 Praszałowicz, The Polish Review, Vol. 70 (2), 2025)
