non-fictie Theatre and Society in Africa
African theatre is strongly inspired by a long tradition of oral performance which includes storytelling, music, drama, song and mimicry, with audiences actively involved. Mineke Schipper shows that for African playwrights the oral tradition still is an important source of inspiration, even when they tackle contemporary themes such as the conflict of generations, corruption and westernization. This book is a concise introduction to a topic of interest to all students of the arts in Africa.
