A landmark work in the study of Black theater and drama, African
American Theatre offers the first comprehensive history of a major
cultural phenomenon until now too often neglected. In this
fast-paced investigation, Hay seeks out the origins of Black
theater in social protest, as envisioned by W.E.B. Dubois, and as a
formal branch of arts theater. Divided between these opposing
forces--the activist and the artistic--Black theater, Hay argues,
faced conflicts of identity whose traces still haunt the medium
today. African American Theatre thus offers a means of locating
Black theater in the larger context of American theater and in the
continuum of African American history from the nineteenth century
to the present--and in doing so offers a profile of dramatic
expression shaped and scarred by the forces of repression, of
self-affirmation, and of subversion. Sweeping in scope, original in
approach and provocatively written, this important book mines the
origins and influences directing Black theater, while charting a
course for its future survival.
