This book interweaves a wide selection of the novels of the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with a series of cultural
events ranging from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show to the 'Southern
Renaissance' of the 1930s. Minter examines a wide variety of period
novels as works of art that arise from and that remain embedded in
culture - arguing conversely, that cultural events such as the
making of Chicago's Columbian Exposition and New York's Armory Show
differ only in degree, not in kind, from novels. Minter thus
constructs a broad and synthetic vision that portrays literary
history as a cultural drama in which novels and events emerge as
related sites of cultural expression. This book traces the history
of African American theatre from its beginnings to the present. It
analyses the types of plays written for this theatre, identifies
the perennial problems faced by theatre artists and producing
companies, and makes bold, innovative proposals for the theatre's
healthy survival.
