Download or read book The Past as Present in the Drama of August Wilson written by Harry J. Elam and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-05-21 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer-prizewinning playwright August Wilson, author of Fences, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and The Piano Lesson, among other dramatic works, is one of the most well respected American playwrights on the contemporary stage. The founder of the Black Horizon Theater Company, his self-defined dramatic project is to review twentieth-century African American history by creating a play for each decade. Theater scholar and critic Harry J. Elam examines Wilson's published plays within the context of contemporary African American literature and in relation to concepts of memory and history, culture and resistance, race and representation. Elam finds that each of Wilson's plays recaptures narratives lost, ignored, or avoided to create a new experience of the past that questions the historical categories of race and the meanings of blackness. Harry J. Elam, Jr. is Professor of Drama at Stanford University and author of Taking It to the Streets: The Social Protest Theater of Luis Valdez and Amiri Baraka (The University of Michigan Press).

Download or read book Aunt Ester s Children Redeemed written by Riley K. Temple and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: August Wilson (1945-2005) wrote one play for every decade of the twentieth century that explored black life in America for the descendants of slaves. All of his characters seek wholeness, identity, and reconstituted selves after the terror of 250 years chattel slavery and its terrifying legacy. Their history, culture, wisdom, joys, triumphs, pain, sufferings, victories, weaknesses, and strengths are all embodied in one character, Aunt Ester. She is as old as the number of years blacks have been on these shores. All of the characters in the ten-play cycle are her children. Their search is through circumstance and adventure, certainly. This author demonstrates how Wilson uses language--poetry, the blues--to bring each play's characters to a point of wholeness, redemption, and freedom, not from history, but ennobled and strengthened by it. Wilson employs fundamental theological doctrines to exhort Aunt Ester's children to remember by whom and how they were freed and made whole.

Download or read book Turner Descendants of the Cheroenhaka Nottoway Indians written by William A. Hinson and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1963, the story goes, the last of the Nottoway Indians died. A fierce tribe of the Iroquois nation had dwindled over 350 years to one old man, illiterate, who worked as a farmhand and rode a bicycle into town for beer. William Lamb is buried near the farm where he lived and worked, on lands once granted to the Nottoway Indians by the crown of England, to be theirs forever. But the monarch overlooked one thing: The land already belonged to the Indians, had belonged to them for thousands of years, since the ancestors of the clan mothers camped on Stony Creek. They were Indian lands before John Smith set up fort, before Pocahontas met John Rolfe, before the Tuscarora War and the American Revolution and the Civil War and Virginia's Racial Integrity Act of 1924. And one more thing. William Lamb wasn't the last of the Nottoway. The blood that is thicker than Nottoway River water has summoned the descendants. They seek to recover a past that was for so many years denied them. They call themselves in Iroquoian the Cheroenhaka, the "People at the Fork of the Stream." They are scattered over at least seven states and Canada. They are coming home, to Southampton County. But like any journey worth taking, it isn't easy.
