Synopsis Race still remains a significant factor in defining human relationships in the world. It is more so in the United States. Writers of African ancestry living in the U.S. have been expressing what it means to be coloured in America. The articulation of racial has been more powerful in black drama and theatre. This volume is a critical analysis of the Post 1960 African-American Drama: its ethics, aesthetics, politics and ideology with focus on three most prolific and celebrated Black writers: James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka (Le Roi Jones) and Ed Bullins. It traces the evolution of Racial Consciousness in African-American drama from 1950 to the present as well as the progression of consciousness within each playwright based on a detailed exegesis of their major plays.
