Title: Privileged Spectatorship: Theatrical Interventions in White Supremacy.
Authors: Williams, Jaye Austin
Abstract: Snyder-Young's book I Privileged Spectatorship: Theatrical Interventions in White Supremacy i is comprehensive in its cognition of the high stakes of white supremacy as it performs within the theatre industry. Snyder-Young details the myriad approaches of practitioners and theatre producers working to renovate the antiquated framework of "catharsis" from implication-free purgation toward a more reflexive mode of ongoing action. Snyder-Young's methodology is rigorous in unfurling the exigencies facing today's theatre makers as they confront the sedimented implacability of whiteness and its aesthetic demands.
