Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical is Restaging America's Past (Rutgers University Press, 2018), edited by Renee C. Romano and Claire Bond Potter, is a collection of essays about Lin Manuel Miranda's hit musical, Hamilton. The show has taken Broadway and much of the United States by storm and is currently running on the West End in London as well. The popular interest in Alexander Hamilton prompted by the show's success has generated new museum exhibits, numerous hot takes in the media, and even a successful effort to preserve Hamilton's likeness on the ten dollar bill. The essays in this collection take on some of the questions and issues raised by the musical and its popularity. Some of the authors comment on the ways that Miranda's interpretation of American history diverges from many historians' understandings, while others take him to task for his portrayals of women and slavery. Miranda's decision to cast non-white actors in most of the roles also comes under scrutiny in several essays. Aimed at a wide audience, including teachers, scholars, and fans the essays provide a diverse, sometimes contradictory, set of views on Hamilton, as well as suggestions for teaching the musical. It is not often that we see a new collective memory of the past form in real time, but that is what is happening because of the success Hamilton.

Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical is Restaging America’s Past (Rutgers University Press, 2018), edited by Renee C. Romano and Claire Bond Potter, is a collection of essays about Lin Manuel Miranda’s hit musical, Hamilton. The show has taken Broadway and much of the United States by storm and is currently running on the West End in London as well. The popular interest in Alexander Hamilton prompted by the show’s success has generated new museum exhibits, numerous hot takes in the media, and even a successful effort to preserve Hamilton’s likeness on the ten dollar bill. The essays in this collection take on some of the questions and issues raised by the musical and its popularity. Some of the authors comment on the ways that Miranda’s interpretation of American history diverges from many historians’ understandings, while others take him to task for his portrayals of women and slavery. Miranda’s decision to cast non-white actors in most of the roles also comes under scrutiny in several essays.

The runaway success of the Broadway musical Hamilton has thrilled and challenged American audiences with a racially diverse reimagining of the nation’s founding. The highly acclaimed show has had children and adults alike talking about, and singing about, historical figures such as Alexander Hamilton and documents like the Federalist Papers. But how have historians reacted to this interpretation and popularizing of America’s past? In this episode we speak with some of the contributors to the volume Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical Is Restaging America’s Past, which was published in May 2018 by Rutgers University Press. Our guests are the book’s editors, Claire Bond Potter of the New School and Renee Romano of Oberlin College. They are joined by three additional contributors: Leslie Harris of Northwestern University, Elizabeth Wollman of Baruch College and The Graduate Center at the City University of New York, and Patricia Herrera of the University of Richmond. They spoke with AHR editor Alex Lichtenstein.
In The Past Lane - The Podcast About History and Why It Matters
This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, I speak to two historians about their new book on Hamilton: The Musical. Claire Bond Potter and Renee Romano’s book, Historians on Hamilton: How a Blockbuster Musical is Restaging America’s Past, features 15 essays by historians that examine many aspects of the Broadway sensation. For example, historian Joanne Freeman – some of you know her from the Backstory podcast – has written an essay, “Can We Get Back to Politics? Please? Hamilton’s Missing Politics in Hamilton.” Patricia Herrera’s essay is titled, “Reckoning with America’s Racial Past, Present, and Future in Hamilton.” Jim Cullen’s essay, “Mind the Gap: Teaching Hamilton,” focuses on the challenges and opportunities of using Hamilton in the classroom. Twelve additional essays, including one each by Claire Potter and Renee Romano, examine the blockbuster musical from many angles, including gender, social media, and the business of Broadway. Among the many things discussed in this episode: How “Hamilton: The Musical” Plays into “Founders Chic” How is it that “Hamilton: The Musical” appea ls to both Mike Pence and Michelle Obama? How Hamilton: The Musical kept Alexander Hamilton on $10 Bill Just how revolutionary is “Hamilton: The Musical”? How Lin-Manuel Miranda uses a savvy social media strategy to cultivate the #HamFam phenomenon for “Hamilton: The Musical” In casting people of color as Founders, does “Hamilton: The Musical” inadvertently erase the black past? How teachers are using “Hamilton: The Musical” Recommended reading: Renee C.
