Cultural Calisthenics: Writings on Race, Politics, and Theatre
Robert Brustein
A barometer of our current cultural climate, "Cultural Calisthenics" includes accounts of Brustein's celebrated debate with August Wilson over the issue of segregated casting; his spirited defense of the National Endowment for the Arts; his eloquent response to the impact of political correctness on the theater and university; and his forthright criticism of what he calls "coercive philanthropy".
