{"product_id":"black-theatre-paul-carter-harrison-9781566399449","title":"Black Theatre: Ritual Performance in the African Diaspora","description":"This volume contains essays written by playwrights, scholars and critics that analyze African American theatre as it is practiced today. Even as they acknowledge that Black experience is not monolithic, these contributors argue provocatively for a Black consciousness that creates a culturally specific theatre. This theatre, rooted in African mythos, offers ritual rather than realism; it transcends the specifics of social relations, reaching toward revelation. The ritual performance that is intrinsic to Black theatre renews the community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Carter Harrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566399440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566399449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.26h x 6.72w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2002 pg. 63","brand":"Paul Carter Harrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078428291327,"sku":"9781566399449","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_399a4095-dc3a-4f29-a7ce-3ac540be63f6.jpg?v=1685475454","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-theatre-paul-carter-harrison-9781566399449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
