dc.description.abstractMy thesis is about the balancing of civil liberties, human rights, and national security in times perceived by government officials and the public as perilous. My thesis is a play and accompanying research paper that uses the celebrated Dr. Seuss and Japanese internment as a prism to the oppressive anti-Islamic and anti-immigrant rhetoric and actions stoked by the Trump administration. Two key purposes animate my research and writing. The first is to highlight the capacity of theater to provide formidable political critiques and to spur reform activism. The second is to carefully elucidate linkages between the wartime hysteria and repression of the Second World War and our contemporary setting.en_US
