Know about the book -

Staging the Slums, Slumming the Stage is written by J. Westgate and published by Palgrave Macmillan. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1137359684 (ISBN 10) and 9781137359681 (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.
