Post-Imperial Brecht challenges prevailing views of Brecht's
theatre and politics. Most political theatre critics place Brecht
between West and East in the Cold War, and a few have recently
explored Brecht's impact as a Northern writer on the global South.
Loren Kruger is the first to argue that Brecht's impact as a
political dramatist, director and theoretical writer makes full
sense only when seen in a post-imperial framework that links the
East/West axis between US capitalism and Soviet communism with the
North/South axis of postcolonial resistance to imperialism. This
framework highlights Brecht's arguments with theorists like
Benjamin, Bloch, and Lukacs. It also shows surprising connections
between socialist East Germany, where Brecht's 1950s projects
impressed the emerging Heiner Muller, and apartheid-era South
Africa, where his work appeared on the apartheid as well as
anti-apartheid stage.
