Interesting & thought-provoking. Several Professional Historians (they make sure you know this in their comments) provide essays on Hamilton, the play. Ranges from what was left out or changed historically, representation in Broadway history & films, even the shortcomings of Chernow‘s bio of Hamilton. Some points were repeated and/or overlapped by some essayists but overall the consensus is that the play, such as it is, is welcomed in that it can spark dialogues & interest. Plus it‘s agreed that it's great theater -- and now available for view via live-streaming TV.… (altro)
I picked this up from my library's new book table. I really enjoyed seeing Hamilton, and I still love the show and the music, but I did find a lot to think about with this book. I appreciated the mix of essays about the American history portrayed in Hamilton and about Broadway history.

divisive topic. Although interracial marriage
is said to be widely accepted there are still
pockets of disapproval in all segments of society.
Organizations that could have positively impacted
this subject, such as the Church, have failed to
do so. In the near future this issue of black versus white
will be a mote point. The bi-racial population is slowly
edging up.
