During the last fifty years, large sums of money, huge resources of labour and vast amounts of creative energy have been invested in international theatre festivals in Africa. Under banners such as 'Reclaiming the African Past' and 'African Renaissance', the festival participants have used the performing arts to address a variety of topical issues and to confront images embedded by a century of patronising colonial expositions. The themes indicate the desire to take history by the forelock, challenge perceptions and transform communities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Volume Editor: JAMES GIBBS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Series Editors: Martin Banham, Emeritus Professor of Drama \u0026 Theatre Studies, University of Leeds; James Gibbs, Senior Visiting Research Fellow, University of the West of England; Femi Osofisan, Professor of Drama at the University of Ibadan; Jane Plastow, Professor of African Theatre, University of Leeds; Yvette Hutchison,Associate Professor, Department of Theatre \u0026 Performance Studies, University of Warwick |
