Soyica Colbert explores the history and reception of black performance traditions, including preaching, dancing, blues and gospel, and theatre itself. Examining the works of a wide range of twentieth-century dramatists, the study shows how the African American experience is portrayed on stage and how this interpretation has changed over time.
