The Cambridge Guide to African and Caribbean Theatre is an
exploration of the rich diversity of theatrical traditions in
sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean. Beautifully illustrated
throughout, the book traces the ancient and complex roots of
African theatre - still evident in community festivals and
religious rituals - through the centuries of colonial domination,
to the African diaspora and its manifestation in Caribbean theatre.
Drawing upon the parent Cambridge Guide to Theatre, material is
updated and refocused to offer a specific view of traditional and
contemporary theatre activity in over 40 countries. National essays
are followed by alphabetically arranged entries on the major
figures in the theatrical arts of that country, whilst additional
entries concentrate on specific aspects of theatre, from rituals
and festivals to theatre companies and language.
