African Theatre 4: Southern Africa Reviews

The fourth volume in the excellent African Theatre series which provides an invaluable resource for academics working in the area of African Theatre. * LUCAS BULLETIN *
Kerr's selection is interesting and diverse, with a commendable (in my view) bias towards the social role of theatre. ... The series as a whole is to be recommended for its contribution to this field's somewhat patchy assortment of publications, and African Theatre: Southern Africa, in particular, for adding to our meagre knowledge of Angolan and Namibian theatre. -- Sheila Boniface Davies * AFRICAN RESEARCH & DOCUMENTATION *
