      abstract = {"This Companion provides a comprehensive overview of  African American theatre, from the early nineteenth century  to the present day. Along the way, it chronicles the  evolution of African American theatre and its engagement  with the wider community, including discussions of slave  rebellions on the national stage, African Americans on  Broadway, the Harlem Renaissance, African American women  dramatists, and the 'New Negro' and 'Black Arts' movements.  Leading scholars spotlight the producers, directors,  playwrights and actors whose efforts helped to fashion a  more accurate appearance of Black life on stage, and reveal  the impact of African American theatre both within the  United States and further afield. Chapters also address  recent theatre productions in the context of political and  cultural change and ask where African American theatre is  heading in the twenty-first century"--},
