Reviews

Here John Conteh-Morgan presents a global strategyoto avoid automatic derivational criticism and to read African theatre in its own right. His discussions of individual plays and playwrights are informative and worthwhile. Carrol Coates, Binghamton University John Conteh-Morgan was the pre-eminent scholar of African theatre in French in the United States. This book establishes the bar (and a high one) for future scholarship on the subject. Judith G. Miller, New York University
