<http://bit.ly/mfcsBe> New Francophone African and Caribbean Theatres <http://bit.ly/mfcsBe>
John Conteh-Morgan, Ohio State University & Dominic Thomas, University of California
"Here John Conteh-Morgan presents a global strategy-to avoid automatic "derivational" criticism and to read African theatre in its own right. His discussions of individual plays and playwrights are informative and worthwhile." -Carrol Coates, Binghamton University
"John Conteh-Morgan was the pre-eminent scholar of African theatre in French in the United States. This book establishes the bar (and a high one) for future scholarship on the subject." -Judith G. Miller, New York University
John Conteh-Morgan explores the multiple ways in which African and Caribbean theatres have combined aesthetic, ceremonial, experimental, and avant-garde practices in order to achieve sharp critiques of the nationalist and post-nationalist state and to elucidate the concerns of the francophone world. More recent changes have introduced a transnational dimension, replacing concerns with national and ethnic solidarity in favour of irony and self-reflexivity. New Francophone African and Caribbean Theatres places these theatres at the heart of contemporary debates on global cultural and political practices and offers a more finely tuned understanding of performance in diverse diasporic networks.
