Staging the Slums, Slumming the Stage is written by J. Westgate and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1137357681 (ISBN 10) and 9781137357687 (ISBN 13).

Drawing on traditional archival research, reception theory, cultural histories of slumming, and recent work in critical theory on literary representations of poverty, Westgate argues that the productions of slum plays served as enactments of the emergent definitions of the slum and the corresponding ethical obligations involved therein.
