This new edition provides an expanded, comprehensive history of
African American theatre, from the early nineteenth century to the
present day. Including discussions of slave rebellions on the
national stage, African Americans on Broadway, the Harlem
Renaissance, African American women dramatists, and the New Negro
and Black Arts movements, the Companion also features fresh
chapters on significant contemporary developments, such as the
influence of the Black Lives Matter movement, the mainstream
successes of Black Queer Drama and the evolution of African
American Dance Theatre. Leading scholars spotlight the producers,
directors, playwrights, and actors who have fashioned a more
accurate appearance of Black life on stage, revealing the impact of
African American theatre both within the United States and around
the world. Addressing recent theatre productions in the context of
political and cultural change, it invites readers to reflect on
where African American theatre is heading in the twenty-first
century.
