The Hamilton Phenomenon: How a Blockbuster Musical is Reenergizing American History
Renee C. Romano, Oberlin College, Professor of History, Comparative American Studies, and Africana Studies
Renee Romano is the Robert S. Danforth Professor of History, Professor of Africana Studies and Comparative American Studies and Chair of the History Department at Oberlin College. A graduate of Yale (BA, 1990) and Stanford (PhD, 1996), she teaches and writes about 20th–and now 21st century–American race relations. Her disparate body of work explores racial attitudes and race relations in the post-WWII United States and seeks to illuminate the barriers to racial justice that continue in the post-civil rights era. She is the author or co-editor of five books, most recently “Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical is Restaging America’s Past” published in May 2018.
