Four Caribbean Women Playwrights aims to expand Caribbean and
postcolonial studies beyond fiction and poetry by bringing to the
fore innovative women playwrights from the French Caribbean: Ina
Cesaire, Maryse Conde, Gerty Dambury, Suzanne Dracius. Focussing on
the significance of these women writers to the French and French
Caribbean cultural scenes, the author illustrates how their work
participates in global trends within postcolonial theatre. The
playwrights discussed here all address socio-political issues,
gender stereotypes, and the traumatic slave and colonial pasts of
the Caribbean people. Investigating a range of plays from the 1980s
to the early 2010s, including some works that have not yet featured
in academic studies of Caribbean theatre, and applying theories of
postcolonial theatre and local Caribbean theatre criticism, Four
Caribbean Women Playwrights should appeal to scholars and students
in the Humanities, and to all those interested in the postcolonial,
the Caribbean, and contemporary theatre.
