Theatre and Drama in Francophone Africa A Critical Introduction

This study is entirely devoted to African literary drama in French, a major component of African theatre. Beginning with a detailed analysis of its relationship to a variety of pre-colonial, but sometimes still contemporary traditions of performance which constitute part of its roots, Conteh-Morgan examines this drama both in its literary and theatrical dimensions. All quotations from play texts are translated into English.Conteh-Morgan, John is the author of 'Theatre and Drama in Francophone Africa A Critical Introduction', published 2006 under ISBN 9780521034715 and ISBN 052103471X.
