Black and Asian Theatre in Britain is an unprecedented study
tracing the history of The Other' through the ages in British
theatre. The diverse and often contradictory aspects of this
history are expertly drawn together to provide a detailed
background to the work of African, Asian, and Caribbean diasporic
companies and practitioners. Colin Chambers examines early forms of
blackface and other representations in the sixteenth century,
through to the emergence of black and Asian actors, companies and
theatre groups in their own right. Thorough analysis uncovers how
they led to a flourishing of black and Asian voices in theatre at
the turn of the twenty-first century. Figures and companies studied
include: * Ira Aldridge * Henry Francis Downing * Paul Robeson *
Errol John * Mustapha Matura * Dark and Light Theatre * The
Keskidee Centre * Indian Art and Dramatic Society * Temba * Edric
and Pearl Connor * Tara Arts * Black Theatre Forum * Tamasha *
Talawa Black and Asian Theatre in Britain is an enlightening and
immensely readable resource and represents a major new study of
theatre history and British history as a whole.
