Scars of conquest/masks of resistance : the invention of cultural identities in African, African-American, and Caribbean drama

Tejumola Olaniyan (Author)
Examining in detail the dramas of Baraka, Soyinka, Walcott and Shange, this study describes how these black writers are preoccupied with the invention of a postimperial cultural identity. It charts the foundations of an important aesthetic form, the drama of the African diaspora.
