Description
A powerful collection of plays that challenge America's narrative on lynching. This anthology brings to light the unique perspective of women who have addressed this dark period in US history through their work. Spanning from 1916 to 1994, the plays included showcase an artistic tradition that continues to evolve through the contributions of African American women artists. By focusing on the experiences of black and white women, this collection reveals a social history of interracial cooperation and artistic collaboration. The plays presented here offer a nuanced understanding of the impact of lynching on US theater and culture, providing a valuable resource for scholars and students alike. This collection is a significant contribution to our understanding of the complex and often fraught relationship between racism and art in America.
