This book aims to offer a broad history of theatre in Africa. The
roots of African theatre are ancient and complex and lie in areas
of community festival, seasonal rhythm and religious ritual, as
well as in the work of popular entertainers and storytellers. Since
the 1950s, in a movement that has paralleled the political
emancipation of so much of the continent, there has also grown a
theatre that comments back from the colonized world to the world of
the colonists and explores its own cultural, political and
linguistic identity. A History of Theatre in Africa offers a
comprehensive, yet accessible, account of this long and varied
chronicle, written by a team of scholars in the field. Chapters
include an examination of the concepts of 'history' and 'theatre';
North Africa; Francophone theatre; Anglophone West Africa; East
Africa; Southern Africa; Lusophone African theatre; Mauritius and
Reunion; and the African diaspora.
