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. 606 $aSouth Asians in literature 606 $aBlack people in literature 606 $aTheater, South Asian$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEnglish drama$xSouth Asian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBlack theater$zGreat Britain$xHistory 610 $aAsian 610 $aBlack 610 $aBritain 610 $aHistory 610 $aTheatre 615 0$aSouth Asians in literature. 615 0$aBlack people in literature. 615 0$aTheater, South Asian$xHistory. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xSouth Asian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBlack theater$xHistory. 676 $a792.08996041 700 $aChambers$b Colin$0171436 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910773607303321 996 $aBlack and Asian theatre in Britain$93668861 997 $aUNINA
