  • Black Images and White Culture During the Decade Before the Civil Rights Movement
    Black Images and White Culture During the Decade before the Civil Rights Movement Thomas H. Pauly "I have assumed that the slaves were merely ordi­ nary human beings, that innately Negroes are, after all, only white men with black skins, nothing more, nothing less." "Preface" Kenneth Stampp The Peculiar Institution: Slavery intheAnte-Bellum South (1956) Walter: "We are very plain people ... what I am telling you is that we called you over here to tell you that we are very proud and that this is—this is my son, who makes the sixth generation of our family in this country, and that we have all thought about your offer and we have decided to move into our house because my father—my father—he earned it We don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no causes—but we will try to be good neighbors. That's all we got to say." Lorainne Hansberry Raisin in the Sun (1959) 0026-3079/90/3102-0101$! .50/0 101 It is usually assumed that the Civil Rights Movement began with the 1954 Supreme Court decision on Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka and the Montgomery bus boycott of the following year. However, this assumption surpresses an uneasy feeling that these beginnings were themselves outgrowths of earlier developments. One cannot help suspecting that the decade that followed the conclusion of World War II contributed more to the Civil Rights Movement than conventional thought allows.1 Admittedly, this period's notable lack of events of equivalent movement justifies this slighting.

  • Black and Asian Theatre in Britain
    Black and Asian Theatre in Britain ‘An important and long overdue book on the huge contribution that Black and Asian artists have made and continue to make to Britain’s theatrical landscape.’ – Meera Syal Black and Asian Theatre in Britain is an unprecedented study tracing the history of ‘the Other’ through the ages in British theatre. The diverse and often contradictory aspects of this history are expertly drawn together to provide a detailed background to the work of African, Asian, and Caribbean diasporic companies and practitioners. Colin Chambers examines early forms of blackface and other representations in the sixteenth century, through to the emergence of black and Asian actors, companies, and theatre groups in their own right. Thorough analysis uncovers how they led to a flourishing of black and Asian voices in theatre at the turn of the twenty­first century. Figures and companies studied include: • Ira Aldridge • Indian Art and Dramatic Society • Henry Francis Downing • Temba • Paul Robeson • Edric and Pearl Connor • Errol John • Tara Arts • Mustapha Matura • Yvonne Brewster • Dark and Light Theatre • Tamasha • The Keskidee Centre • Talawa. Black and Asian Theatre in Britain is an enlightening and immensely readable resource and represents a major new study of theatre history and British history as a whole. Colin Chambers was Kingston University’s first Professor of Drama. Formerly a journalist and theatre critic, he was Literary Manager of the Royal Shakespeare Company from 1981 to 1997. His books include The Story of Unity Theatre (1989), the award­winning biography Peggy: The Life of Margaret Ramsay, Play Agent (1997), The Continuum Companion to Twentieth Century Theatre (editor, 2002), Inside the Royal Shakespeare Company (2004) and Here We Stand (2006).

  • Stage for Action and Social Activist Performance, 1943 - 1953
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THEATRICAL MILITANTS: STAGE FOR ACTION AND SOCIAL ACTIVIST PERFORMANCE, 1943 - 1953 Chrystyna Marta Dail, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Dr. Heather S. Nathans, Department of Theatre Stage For Action began as ―Stage Door to Action‖ in December 1943 under the leadership of a twenty-three year old radio performer, Perry Miller, along with fellow radio actress Donna Keath, the stage actress Berilla Kerr, and Peggy Clark, a soon-to-be prominent Broadway designer.1 Officially changing their name in March of 1944, Stage For Action was described in newspapers as a group which ―dramatiz[es] current problems and [is] patterned after the Living Newspaper technique.‖2. From their original theme of supporting the war effort to tackling post- war issues of atomic warfare, racism, anti-Semitism, and the witch-hunts of the House Committee on Un-American Activities (commonly referred to as HUAC), Stage For Action became the prevailing social activist theatre group of the 1940s. They operated as one of the ―opposing currents of dynamic progress and static conservatism…with its militant program…tak[ing] the theatre to the people when the 1Burton Lindheim, ―A Stage For Action,‖ New York Times, 14 May 1944, X1. 2Sam Zolotow, ―Patricia Kirkland Gets a Lead Role,‖ New York Times, 27 March 1944, 16. people can‘t come to the theatre.‖3 By the time of Walter S. Steele‘s July 21, 1947 testimony before the HUAC, Stage For Action had created their own performance aesthetic, operated in at least nine cities, initiated a training school in New York City, and was funded by or had a direct connection to the Jewish People‘s Fraternal Order, the CIO Teachers‘ Union, the United Electrical Workers, the Furriers Union, Transport Union, National Maritime Union, and Department Store Workers‘ Union.4 This dissertation constructs Stage For Action as a social activist theatre that drew on the practices of the social activist and Workers‘ Theatres of the 1930s but utilized events specific to their historical moment in order to educate and activate their audiences.

  • Touch of Shakespeare: Welles Unmoors Othello1
    Touch of Shakespeare: Welles Unmoors Othello1 Scot t L. Newst ok Gustavus Adolphus College [I]f it were really like Othello nobody could understand it, however new it might be. And if it were new, it couldn’t possibly be like Othello. —Aldous Huxley, Brave New World The most detestable habit in all modern cinema is the homage. I don’t want to see another goddamn homage in anybody’s movie. There are enough of them which are unconscious. —Orson Welles, at the Cinémathèque française * * * rson Welles’s Touch of Evil (1958) bears marks of a dense, knotty re- lOationship to William Shakespeare’s Othello,2 a relationship that has until now been overlooked (and, in my experience, sometimes denied with sur- prising vehemence). The connection is pervasive yet indirect, and I approx- imate this indirection structurally through the form of my essay—just as Shakespeare provides a buried foundation for Welles’s film, evocative quo- tations from the play are confined by design to my footnotes, thereby of- fering a running dialogue with the body of the argument (endnotes are largely reserved for explanatory digressions).i This creates an admittedly demanding reading experience, which (I hope) emulates the kind of con- versation Welles himself was having with Shakespeare. The excessive length of this essay and its discursive annotations manifest my desire to iThus, as an opening example, I observe that the play itself draws our attention to circui- tous inducement: the First Senator accuses Othello of using the very methods (“by indi- rect and forced courses” [1.3.111]) that could more appropriately describe Iago’s strategies.
