The selected plays studied in this course deal with immigration, culture, family, deportation, justice, exile, and law problems. Immigrant plays are essentially a drama of ideas rather than action; they express specific statements they want to spread in American society. Immigrant playwrights examine the host community and address problematic issues in society. They use drama to demonstrate relations that prevail in the United States, which sometimes embeds discrimination and pressure on refugees, immigrants, and asylum seekers. This course explores immigrant theatre that flourished in the United States from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. We will examine the history of immigrant theatre through the cultural, economic, and political contexts. Topics include the theatre of European, Middle Eastern, Asian, African, and Hispanic immigrants to the United States.
