Review:
"Recommended"--Choice; "Radulescu's examination of the theater of the Balkans, Romania, Israel, and other sites of violence and exile demonstrates the power of theater to enable the survivors of trauma to document and witness, to reclaim the real, to produce social change, and to promote the possibility of healing, both on the personal and national levels...a model for understanding how artists depict and resist unspeakable violence and living a national identity far from that nation...will surely be of interest to scholars from a wide variety of fields."--Kevin J. Wetmore, Department of Theatre Arts, Loyola Marymount University; "With an exile's insight and an advocate's clarity, with a scholar's thoroughness and an artist's passionate partiality, Radulescu assembles and frames an illuminating array of recent-and-contemporary theatrical manifestations that explore war-born, genocide-inscribed trauma."--Erik Ehn, Professor and Chair of Theater Arts and Performance Studies at Brown University.
