Uncle Tom's Cabins by Tracy C Davis
Tells thirteen variants of Uncle Tom's journey, explicating the novel's significance for Canadian abolitionists; nineteenth-century French theatregoers; liberal Cuban, Romanian, and Spanish intellectuals; Dutch colonizers and Filipino nationalists; Eastern European Cold War communists; Muslim readers and spectators in the Middle East; Brazilian TV audiences; and German holidaymakers.“Sweeping in its scope and imaginative in its approach, this collection challenges contemporary scholars to revisit one of the most influential works in the American canon and to recognize that mere national borders never have and never can curtail the flow of ideas and cultureThe essays illuminate the ways that even seemingly innocuous adaptations or translations shaped the resonance of Uncle Tom's Cabin for audiences around the world. The study should be a model for how to approach the impact of translation and adaptation across time and in different cultural contexts.”
