{"product_id":"sistren-theatre-collective-and-the-karina-smith-9783031974649","title":"Sistren Theatre Collective and the Politics of Space in Jamaica: Woman Talawa","description":"This book offers the first full-length scholarly study of Sistren Theatre Collective, one of the most significant theatre companies in the history of Caribbean drama. It looks critically at Sistren's theatre productions and its community outreach programme, as well as its leading role in the Caribbean women's movement and its relationship with development agencies. The book charts Sistren's emergence, influence and transformation from a women's only theatre company to a mixed-gender non-governmental organization. Covering Jamaica's socio-political history since the island's Independence in 1962, this study places Sistren's work in the context of Jamaica's past as a plantation economy and the ongoing impact of colonialism and neocolonialism in Jamaican society. This book will appeal to scholars and students in the discipline areas of Caribbean Studies, Theatre Studies, Gender studies and Development Studies as well as activists and theatre practitioners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karina Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031974646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031974649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Karina Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47580023619839,"sku":"9783031974649","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4dba9d66-51b9-45f9-ae21-448986f28264.jpg?v=1763878266","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sistren-theatre-collective-and-the-karina-smith-9783031974649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
