Blueprints for a Black Federal Theatre

Klappentext Blue Print for a Black Federal Theatre is compelling...Fraden powerfully states that no group in America has been so invidiously represented onstage and so relentlessly prevented from working backstage. Zusammenfassung Blueprints for a Black Federal Theatre, 1935–1939 focuses on the struggles of various groups of black and white critics, audiences, and artists to define what constituted authentic, properly representative African American art in the theatre of the 1930s.
