"Black South African Women" is the first single-volume anthology to focus exclusively on the lives of Black South African women. These ten plays about Black South African women challenge simple understandings of life in South Africa both before and after Apartheid, and represent the leading edge of the arts in the emerging new South Africa. Issues such as women s rights, displacement from home, family unity and cohesion, racial identity, education in the old and new South Africa, and issues involving health care all find voices in these pages. These theatrical works, along with verbatim interviews with the playwrights, reach beyond the theater doors onto a stage where a new nation with new prospects, and new challenges, awaits.
