Four Black Revolutionary Plays: Experimental Death Unit 1, a Black Mass, Madheart, and Great Goodness of Life, (Paperback)

These four one-act plays deal with the African-American experience of today. Their central elements are love and hatred echoed in violently explosive words, actions, thoughts and metaphor. The sum total of three hundred years of contained fury, they are powerful statements about the real meaning of white oppression of black people. In their militancy and anger, they perfectly express the mood and frustrations of black America and are as relevant today as when they were first publicly performed. This new edition of Four Black Revolutionary Plays also includes a Foreword by playwright, novelist, journalist and lecturer Lindsay Barrett, who has also made widely acclaimed radio and TV programs on jazz, the arts and African cultural matters.
