The diverse and often contradictory aspects of this history are expertly drawn together to provide a detailed background to the work of African, Asian, and Caribbean diasporic companies and practitioners. Colin Chambers examines early forms of blackface and other representations in the sixteenth century, through to the emergence of black and Asian actors, companies, and theatre groups in their own right. Thorough analysis uncovers how they led to a flourishing of black and Asian voices in theatre at the turn of the twenty-first century. Figures and companies studied include: Ira Aldridge Henry Francis Downing Paul Robeson Errol John Mustapha Matura Dark and Light Theatre The Keskidee Centre Indian Art and Dramatic Society Temba Edric and Pearl Connor Tara Arts Yvonne Brewster Tamasha Talawa. Black and Asian Theatre in Britain is an enlightening and immensely readable resource and represents a major new study of theatre history and British history as a whole.South Asians in literatureBlack people in literatureTheater, South AsianGreat BritainHistoryEnglish dramaSouth Asian authorsHistory and criticismEnglish dramaBlack authorsHistory and criticismBlack theaterGreat BritainHistoryAsianBlackBritainHistoryTheatreSouth Asians in literature.Black people in literature.Theater, South AsianHistory.English dramaSouth Asian authorsHistory and criticism.English dramaBlack authorsHistory and criticism.Black theaterHistory.792.08996041Chambers Colin171436MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910773607303321Black and Asian theatre in Britain3668861UNINA
