Contemporary Uganda and other East African states are connected by
the experience of Idi Amin's tyranny, rapacious and murderous
regime, and the latter second Uganda Peoples Congress government,
that forced Ugandans to go into exile and initiate armed struggles
from Kenya and Tanzania to oust his government. Because of these
experiences of disappearances, torture, murder and war, issues of
identity, politics and resistance are significant concerns for East
African dramatists. Resistance and Politics in Contemporary East
African Theatre demonstrates the significant role of theatre in
resisting tyranny and forging a post-colonial national identity. In
its engaging analysis of an important period of theatre, the book
explores key moments while considering the specific practice of
individual artists and groups that provoke differing experiences
and performance practices. Selected examples range from early
post-colonial plays reflecting the resistance to the rise of
tyranny, torture and dictatorships, to more recent works that
address situations involving struggles for social justice and the
cult personality in political leaders.
