Afrocentricity as a Generative Idea in the Study of African American Drama.

Okur, Nilgun Anadolu

Journal of Black Studies, v24 n1 p88-108 Sep 1993

The Afrocentric theories of Molefi Kete Asante are examined as they relate to drama. It is argued that the fundamental principle in understanding African-American drama rests on viewing it as a means of total creation deriving power from the interaction of the self, the community, and the cosmos.
