Black Theatre: Ritual Performance in the African DiasporaPaul Carter Harrison, Victor Leo Walker, Gus Edwards, Walker II Victor Leo Temple University Press, 2002 - 432 من الصفحات Generating a new understanding of the pastOCoas well as a vision for the futureOCothis path-breaking volume contains essays written by playwrights, scholars, and critics that analyze African American theatre as it is practiced today.Even as they acknowledge that Black experience is not monolithic, these contributors argue provocatively and persuasively for a Black consciousness that creates a culturally specific theatre. This theatre, rooted in an African mythos, offers ritual rather than realism; it transcends the specifics of social relations, reaching toward revelation. The ritual performance that is intrinsic to Black theatre renews the community; in Paul Carter Harrison's words, it reveals the Form of Things Unknown in a way that binds, cleanses, and heals." |
