Post-colonial Drama: Theory, Practice, Politics is the first full-length study to adress the ways in which performance has been instrumental in resisting the continuing effects of imperialism. It brings to bear the latest theoretical approaches from post-colonial and performance studies to a range of plays from Australia, Africa, Canada, New Zealand, the Caribbean and other former colonial regions. Some of the major topics discussed in Post-colonial Drama include: - The intersections of post-colonial and performance theories. - The post-colonial re-stagings of language and history. - The specific enactments of ritual and carnival. - The theatrical citations of the Post-colonial body. Post-colonial Drama combines a rich cluster of theoretical approaches with close attention to a wide range of performance texts. This fascinating study is invaluable reading for all students and theorists of drama.
