Abstract or Description

This is the first critical study dedicated to black British dramatists that offers historical and cultural contextualisations, to frame close readings of selected playwrights’ works, (chronologically grouped), in order to recognise the continuities of black writers’ contributions to British theatre historiography. The chapter traces significant social and cultural routes to how modern and contemporary black British drama and dramatists comprise a category in British theatre historiography.
