Summary:

"For those whose familiarity with black women playwrights is limited to the works of Lorraine Hansbury and Ntozake Shange, this collection of 15 plays written between 1925 and 1985 by eight authors will be a revelation. They express a passionate longing for social justice and for a stable, nurturing relationship between black men and women. . . . This anthology helps to fill a serious gap in the standard histories of American drama and should be purchased by most black studies and theater collections." Library Journal
