Summary: "Freak Inheritance is a survey of cutting-edge theory and analysis of the freak show performance tradition, offering a deep and broad inquiry into the cultural work behind the performance of abnormality in the US and beyond. The dynamic of performance has the power to communicate and affectively charge a eugenic message through the frame of entertainment and spectacle. The materiality, presence, and dialectical immediacy of the gestalt of performance affords the freak show's work the ability to activate, often through exaggeration, in an embodied, real-time, and highly effective way for its audiences"--Provided by publisher
