Beschreibung

"These seven plays by Sonia Sanchez form an emotional and historic bridge from the loud revolutionary power of the 1960s and the twentieth century to the more insidious and subtle challenges of this first decade of the twenty-first. Their power lies in their ability to present super/real snapshots of their time and circumstance with the mystic clarity that mixing poetry and drama can create. From "The Bronx Is Next," where Brothers prepare to burn down Harlem tenements, to "2 X 2," where Beverly and Ramona Smith find one another, Sonia's persistent call to Blacks--and especially to women--is to find the strength to assemble our ghosts and demons, confront them, and lay them to rest. The plays are startling and open us to a Sonia Sanchez whose vision can see the world as stage, or, perhaps, stage as the world."--Charles Fuller
