Today I'm talking about anti-racist readings through Shakespeare, because, with everything going on in the world regarding anti-immigrant policies, I believe reading about racism is a form of struggle, before they get banned from public libraries.
1. "The Merchant of Venice" is a play written by William Shakespeare between 1596 and 1598. It talks about intolerance, racism, double standards, the way we suddenly and easily raise our fingers to point the finger at others.
2. "Othello" directly addresses the most current issues: fake news, women's rights, envy, fear of those who are different, racism, and irrational jealousy.
3. In "The Tempest", Caliban is portrayed as a racialized colonial subject of the British Empire in the 19th century. First, Sycorax, restored to her maternal position, remains A supernatural force like a witch-ghost. Both she and her son are explicitly identified as African, and the play's action is geographically tied to the continent's west coast, linking the relationship between the European and African characters to the context of the British slave trade.
