Yet many of these artists still struggle to gain attention. In this volume, Sandra Adell draws from the vital wellspring of works created by African American women in the twenty-first century to present ten plays by both prominent and up-and-coming writers. Taken together, the selections portray how these women engage with history as they delve into--and shake up--issues of gender and class to craft compelling stories of African American life. Gliding from gritty urbanism to rural landscapes, these works expand boundaries and boldly disrupt modes of theatrical representation. 606 $aAmerican drama$xWomen authors$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00807032 606 $aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00806999 606 $aAfrican American women$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00799438 606 $aAmerican drama$xWomen authors 606 $aAfrican American women$vDrama 606 $aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors 608 $aDrama. 608 $aDrama.$2lcgft 615 7$aAmerican drama$xWomen authors. 615 7$aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors. 615 7$aAfrican American women. 615 0$aAmerican drama$xWomen authors. 615 0$aAfrican American women 615 0$aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors. 676 $a812.54080896073 701 2$aGarrett$b Keli$01621804 701 2$aBrooks$b J.
