Universität Berlin, where she previously completed a fellowship at
the International Research Center "Interweaving Performance
Cultures."
Minou Arjomand is Assistant Professor of English at Boston
University. Her research focuses on the relationship between
theatre and political trials in postwar Germany and the United
States.
"Rarely do books with “introduction” in the title exhibit the depth of synthesis that this one does. Fischer-Lichte’s book, as edited and translated by Minou Arjomand and Romona Mosse, is stimulating in its approach, conversational tone, and ease of access to interesting points of view...This well-researched, cogent study will be a fine addition to any theatre and performance studies collection. Summing up: Recommended." - CHOICE, November 2014
