Black and Asian Theatre In Britain by Colin Chambers
Colin Chambers' timely study traces the history of 'the other' in British theatre from the early representations of the 16th century and blackface through to the emergence of black actors and Black and Asian theatre in their own right."It is one of the great strengths and, importantly, pleasures of this book, that it moves well beyond a mere chronicling of activities and individuals into a sensitive description of battles fought and prejudices encountered" - Martin Banham, African Theatre
'An important and long overdue book on the huge contribution that Black and Asian artists have made and continue to make to Britain’s theatrical landscape.’ - Meera Syal
