People have always been driven to travel across geographical, social, and cultural boundaries in order to find new horizons. These migrations can be difficult and traumatic experiences that result in alienation and rejection, but they can also lead to enriching processes of hybridization and acceptance by the host society. Given that it was founded by immigrants and that theater has evolved from its inception to the present as a melting pot of ideas, styles, trends, and even genres, using the United States as an example to study the phenomenon of migration in the arts and culture is particularly pertinent in this regard. The works compiled in this volume explore the many ways in which migrations have been, and continue to be today, an active factor in shaping American theater and drama in its many forms.
I. Transatlantic migrations
II. Human and religious migrations
III. Musical migrations
IV Genre and stylistic migrations
