Elam, Jr. 330 $aThis Companion provides a comprehensive overview of African American theatre, from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Along the way, it chronicles the evolution of African American theatre and its engagement with the wider community, including discussions of slave rebellions on the national stage, African Americans on Broadway, the Harlem Renaissance, African American women dramatists, and the 'New Negro' and 'Black Arts' movements. Leading scholars spotlight the producers, directors, playwrights and actors whose efforts helped to fashion a more accurate appearance of black life on stage, and reveal the impact of African American theatre both within the United States and further afield. Chapters also address recent theatre productions in the context of political and cultural change and ask where African American theatre is heading in the twenty-first century. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAfrican American theater$xHistory 606 $aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican Americans in the performing arts 615 0$aAfrican American theater$xHistory. 615 0$aAmerican drama$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in the performing arts. 676 $a792.089/96073 686 $aDRA001000$2bisacsh 702 $aYoung$b Harvey$f1975- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996204513603316 996 $aCambridge companion to African American theatre$91576512 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
