The history of musical theater in the United States is bound up with race on multiple levels: from the problematic legacies of vaudeville and minstrelsy, to erasure, whitewashing, and nontraditional casting, to issues of genre and identity in pop, rock, and hip hop musicals. In this course, we will survey selected musical works in the history of musical theater from the perspective of race, moving from Hamilton to Show Boat, Porgy and Bess, South Pacific, West Side Story, and Rent, and others.

In this course, questions concerning views of the self, humans in relation to one another, and humans in relation to the non-human world will be explored by bringing together conventional philosophy texts with culturally diverse philosophical writings. Through these questions and the materials which address them, issues of ethnicity, race, class, and gender will impact our discussion of various perspectives on fundamental problems.
