Scars of Conquest/Masks of Resistance: The Invention of Cultural Identities in African, AfricanAmerican, and Caribbean Drama,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This original work redefines and broadens our understanding of the drama of the Englishspeaking African diaspora. Looking closely at the work of Amiri Baraka, Nobel prizewinners Wole Soyinka and Derek Walcott, and Ntozake Shange, the author contends that the refashioning of the collective cultural self in black drama originates from the complex intersection of three discourses: Eurocentric, Afrocentric, and PostAfrocentric.From blackface minstrelsy to the Trinidad Carnival, from the Black Aesthetic to the South African Black Consciousness theatres and the scholarly debate on the (non)existence of African drama, Olaniyan cogently maps the terrains of a cultural struggle and underscores a peculiar situation in which the inferiorization of black performance forms is most often a shorthand for subordinating black culture and corporeality.Drawing on insights from contemporary theory and cultural studies, and offering detailed readings of the above writers, Olaniyan shows how they occupy the interface between the Afrocentric and a liberating PostAfrocentric space where black theatricalcultural difference could be envisioned as a site of multiple articulations: race, class, gender, genre, and language.
