John Conteh-Morgan explores the multiple ways in which African andCaribbean theatres have combined aesthetic, ceremonial, experimental, andavant-garde practices in order to achieve sharp critiques of the nationalist andpostnationalist state and to elucidate the concerns of the francophone world. Morerecent changes have introduced a transnational dimension, replacing concerns withnational and ethnic solidarity in favor of irony and self-reflexivity. NewFrancophone African and Caribbean Theatres places these theatres at the heart ofcontemporary debates on global cultural and political practices and offers a morefinely tuned understanding of performance in diverse diasporic networks.
