Abstract

The paper presents a dialogue between the North-American political and social contexts in the contemporality, questioning the migration issues and racism through the Broadway musical Hamilton: the revolution (2016) based on the cultural studies theories. Because we deal with the Alexander Hamilton’s biography and the reinterpretation to make the musical, we use the adaptation theory by Linda Hutcheon (2013) to base the work, Bhabha (2018), in order to discuss the colonization and Hall (2000), to observe the identity crisis.
