The dilemma of the gendered subaltern is vital as the group’s struggle may consist of layers of oppressed states vis-à-vis gender, class, caste and race, resulting in multiple levels of marginalization. This volume provides a voice to the literary discourse of gendered identity crises and politics represented and analysed through theoretical and theatrical interventions. It underscores how the body becomes a site of identity, oppression and resistance, and interrogates the notions of identity, family structure and society. It further entails discussion on the role of participatory theatre and street performance practices and their changing conventions in the urban theatre space. As such, the volume brings together new and innovative research on the representation of the concerns of the gendered subaltern in urban theatrical spaces, and will appeal to young scholars, academicians, and practitioners in varied disciplines ranging across the humanities, social sciences and performance studies.

Some events that transform a nation are frozen in time. Others pass with little public awareness, and we only appreciate their momentous nature long after they occur. Regardless, these events are few and—almost always—far between. But in 1969, four such events took place within the span of only 100 days. In this book, cultural historian Harlan Lebo looks back at the first moon landing, the Manson family murders, Woodstock, and the birth of the Internet to tell the story of how each event shaped the nation and how we perceive ourselves. Loaded with captivating anecdotes and insights based on extensive interviews with eyewitnesses and participants, to provide historical insight and contemporary context, 100 Days will fascinate readers who seek a deeper appreciation of how four seemingly unrelated events shaped America’s emergence as the nation we have become.
