Description
Sightlines surveys a rich variety of Australian performance, including both mainstream and marginalized groups, to explore how race, gender, and nation are expressed in theatrical contexts. Helen Gilbert's recurrent concern with representations of Aboriginality, particularly in the works of nonindigenous playwrights, draws attention to racial politics as a perennial motif in postcolonial nations. Her exploration of the relationships between patriarchy and imperialism is supported by an extensive discussion of plays by and about women.
