Yet many of these artists still struggle to gain attention. In this volume, Sandra Adell draws from the vital wellspring of works created by African American women in the twenty-first century to present ten plays by both prominent and up-and-coming writers. Taken together, the selections portray how these women engage with history as they delve into--and shake up--issues of gender and class to craft compelling stories of African American life. Gliding from gritty urbanism to rural landscapes, these works expand boundaries and boldly disrupt modes of theatrical representation. 650 0 $a American drama $x African American authors. 650 0 $a African American women $v Drama. 650 0 $a American drama $x Women authors. 650 7 $a African American women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799438 650 7 $a American drama $x African American authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00806999 650 7 $a American drama $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807032 655 7 $a Drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423879 700 1 $a Adell, Sandra, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210023612.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=03450906ECCF11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
