Summary
  1. "An exciting new generation of black playwrights has come of age in a startlingly short time. Suddenly the boundaries between stage and life have been dissolved by writers determined to tell what it is and what it means to be black in the here and now of America as no white has ever really known it. The twenty-three plays in this collection vary enormously in mood, method, and mode of attack. There is harsh realism, high and low comedy, surreal displacement of time, place, and personality, using original techniques that compare with Jazz in their innovative power. All, however, have their foundations firmly rooted in the uncompromising truth of the black experience. And all are among the most explosive works of theater being written today."-Publisher
