Author Bethany Hughes discusses her new book, “Redface: Race, Performance, and Indigeneity.” Dr. Hughes is an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and assistant professor at the University of Michigan. As a performance scholar and cultural historian, her work focuses on the representation of Native Americans in theatrical performance and contemporary Indigenous performance. Her book on redface in American theatre, coming out in December with NYU Press, articulates the aesthetic, racial, and political implications of the “Indian” in live theatre. Hughes teaches classes on Native American Studies, Indigenous performance, race and musical theatre, and American performance.
