One of America's most powerful and original dramatists, August
Wilson offered an alternative history of the twentieth century, as
seen from the perspective of black Americans. He celebrated the
lives of those seemingly pushed to the margins of national life,
but who were simultaneously protagonists of their own drama and
evidence of a vital and compelling community. Decade by decade, he
told the story of a people with a distinctive history who forged
their own future, aware of their roots in another time and place,
but doing something more than just survive. Wilson deliberately
addressed black America, but in doing so discovered an
international audience. Alongside chapters addressing Wilson??'s
life and career, and the wider context of his plays, this Companion
dedicates individual chapters to each play in his ten-play cycle,
which are ordered chronologically, demonstrating Wilson's notion of
an unfolding history of the twentieth century.
