Award-winning writer and solo performer Smith derived her scripts from interviews with people who experienced or observed New York's 1991 Crown Heights racial riots. 000925308 520__ $$a"Derived from interviews with a wide range of people who experienced or observed New York's 1991 Crown Heights racial riots, Fires In The Mirror is as distinguished a work of commentary on black-white tensions as it is a work of drama. In August 1991 simmering tensions in the racially polarized Brooklyn, New York, neighborhood of Crown Heights exploded into riots after a black boy was killed by a car in a rabbi's motorcade and a Jewish student was slain by blacks in retaliation. Fires in the Mirror is dramatist Anna Deavere Smith's stunning exploration of the events and emotions leading up to and following the Crown Heights conflict. Through her portrayals of more than two dozen Crown eights adversaries, victims, and eyewitnesses, using verbatim excerpts from their observations derived from interviews she conducted, Smith provides a brilliant, Rashoman-like documentary portrait of contemporary ethnic turmoil."--Publisher's description. 000925308 650_0 $$aViolence$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$xHistory$$y20th century$$vDrama. 000925308 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$vDrama. 000925308 650_0 $$aJews$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$vDrama. 000925308 651_0 $$aCrown Heights (New York, N.Y.)$$xHistory$$vDrama. 000925308 651_0 $$aNew York (N.Y.)$$xRace relations$$vDrama. 000925308 655_7 $$aVerbatim theater.$$2lcgft 000925308 655_7 $$aMonologues (Drama)$$2lcgft 000925308 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aSmith, Anna Deavere.$$tFires in the mirror.$$b1st Anchor Books ed.$$dNew York : Anchor Books/Doubleday, 1993$$w(OCoLC)621639256 000925308 85200 $$bgen$$hPS3569.M465$$iF56$$i1993 000925308 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:925308$$pGLOBAL_SET 000925308 980__ $$aBIB 000925308 980__ $$aBOOK
