"Though New York remains the de facto capital of American theater,
much of the most daring and interesting work today is done by
regional theaters. This is doubly true of plays by African American
authors, who, despite a few notable exceptions (August Wilson,
George C. Wolfe), suffer under a commercial apartheid that keeps
black plays off Broadway. Of necessity, African American theater
artists have to create their own venues from the ground up. This
wide-ranging anthology edited by the founder of the New Federal
Theater celebrates the work of that company's black-owned,
black-run peers by presenting work by 11 dramatists. Among the most
interesting are Jeff Stetson's moving The Meeting, which imagines a
meeting between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., and
Shauneille Perry's fascinating updating of In Dahomey, the 1903
musical hit that was the first 'all-Black show' on Broadway." -
Jack Helbig, Booklist
