description: In the seventeenth century two theaters were constructed in Madrid and many were built not only in urban centers across the Iberian Peninsula, but also in the colonial territories of America. A national theater is crucial for understanding Spain's march into modernity, especially with respect to one of modernity's most criticized legacies: race. This study argues that comprehending and disassembling race in the contemporary West must take into account its manifestation in theater in imperial Spain.
