African Theatre 9: Histories 1850-1950 by Martin Banham
What kinds of documentation of performances exist - both of colonial and indigenous theatre and how may this range of documentation have affected how we read theatre history?
A most welcome addition to the African Theatre series as it updates and significantly expands on the scant literature that currently exists on the subject of African theatre history* AFRICA *
This collection is a success, especially in its ability to bring to attention dramatic materials that were hitherto unknown to the public. It will appeal to a wide spectrum of academics and practitioners including statements, teachers, and researchers of African theatre. * AFRICAN RESEARCH & DOCUMENTATION *
This collection abounds in insight, presents new information, and articulates original ideas, thus succeeding in opening up fresh perspectives on the early history of theatre in Africa. * MATUTU *
