Review
"An impressive team of African scholars and theater professionals has compiled a stunning country-by-country introduction to the theater of sub-Saharan Africa....Not simply an aid to research, this volume gives an exciting introduction to Africa's fascinating, varied, and vibrant theatrical scene, too little known in the US. Highly recommended."
-"Choice, October 1998
..."continues the series' excellent tradition...invaluable to anyone interested in the recent history of African theater....This volume and series are a valuable addition to any academic or research library supporting interest in contemporary or international theater."
-"Reference User & Services Quarterly, Winter 1997
"Succeeds in bringing the researcher into the political/cultural framework of performance in context and is an invaluable resource not only for scholars in the performing arts but also for cultural anthropologists, sociologists and others..... A welcome addition to all serious performing arts collections."
-"Booklist, October 1997
..."most countries have sustained studies that achieve a surprising degree of depth and subtlety covering many cultures and languages..... Together with the previous volumes on Europe and the Americas, this effort succeeds admirably at promoting interest in global theater."
-"Library Journal, 6/97
"The subject is theatre as Africans have created and experience it. The result is indispensable for anyone interested in either African culture or in modern theatre. The approach is readably descriptive.... It is a significant achievement, especially as many parts of Africa's theatrical history are virtually undocumented....Indispensable for anyone interestedin either African culture or modern theatre....Sometimes it takes a browsable, loving, exploratory book to change attitudes. This just might be it."
-"London Times Higher Education Supplement, 12/26/97
