Summary

Mzo Sirayi has embarked on a highly impressive and daring enterprise with theunfl inching boldness of a scholar who is driven by a passionate pursuit to set therecord straight. He manages to pull no punches and make no apologies by being trueto his convictions, especially within the context of a new South Africa. The bookadopts a largely historicized, critical and analytical perspective, which strikinglyapproximates that of postcolonial theory. Owen SedaThis new and authoritative book is an excellent addition to the few existing bookson black South African drama and theatre. South African Drama and Th eatre fromPre-colonial Times to 1990s: An Alternative Reading takes the reader on a tour ofthe indigenous as well as the modern South African theatre zones. The chaptersreverberate with echoes of Africanisation and rock on renaissance waves. This excitingand stimulating book is transparently readable, accessible and is of inestimable valueto academics and general readers. Patrick Ebewo
