First performed in 1964, Amiri Baraka's play about a charged
encounter between a black man and a white woman still has the power
to shock. The play, steeped in the racial issues of its time,
continues to speak to racial violence and inequality today. This
volume offers strategies for guiding students through this short
but challenging text. Part 1, ""Materials,"" provides resources for
biographical information, critical and literary backgrounds, and
the play's early production history. The essays of part 2,
""Approaches,"" address viewing and staging Dutchman theatrically
in class. They help instructors ground the play artistically in the
black arts movement, the beat generation, the theater of the
absurd, pop music, and the blues. Background on civil rights, black
power movements, the history of slavery, and Jim Crow laws helps
contextualize the play politically and historically.
