Spain's state theater, which was initiated in Madrid in the seventeenth century and spread not only into the provinces but to the colonies in America. Beusterien (Spanish, Texas Tech U.) argues that the state theater moved Spain into modernity in that it combined the two methods of observation of race associated with it: Continental racism, which differentiated the individual of race by narratives of religion, and the American version, which is based on skin color. He works through the Continental version's social paranoia and its demonizing of the outcast religion and describes Black characters in over 20 plays in terms of their position within the colonial enterprise. In doing so he proves that both aspects of racism can exist together, while also showing through an adept reading of Cervantes' The Marvelous Puppet Show that the theater can also hold a subaltern aesthetic and in doing so expose oppressive ways and remove them.
