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"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000455578 650_0 $$aAfrican American theater$$xHistory. 000455578 650_0 $$aAmerican drama$$xAfrican American authors$$xHistory and criticism. 000455578 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans in the performing arts. 000455578 7001_ $$aYoung, Harvey,$$d1975- 000455578 830_0 $$aCambridge companions to literature. 000455578 85200 $$bgen$$hPN2270.A35$$iC36$$i2013 000455578 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:455578$$pGLOBAL_SET 000455578 980__ $$aBIB 000455578 980__ $$aBOOK
