African theatre: Southern Africa/ edited by Martin Banham, James Gibbs and Femi Osofisan/ guest editor David Kerr/ - Oxford, James Currey, 2004 - xiv, 174p. - African Theatre. .

Includes bibliographic references.

The articles and interviews on theatre in Southern Africa include the familiar territory of South Africa and Zimbabwe, but also countries which have received little previous attention such as Angola and Namibia. The two aricles on Angolan theatre reveal different kinds of theatre, mainstream and community based, to Anglophonereaders unfamiliar with Lusophone African theatre. The contribution on Namibia examines a play focusing on the contemporary issues of racism, dictarship and censorship.
