Postcolonial Theatres

This issue of Feminist Review brings together articles, reviews, interviews and dialogues on plays and performances by Indian, African-American, Afro-Canadian, and Black and Asian women in Britain in order to address the ways in which women from such differentiated contexts use theatre as a site for exploring feminist issues and for challenging dominant cultural and social conventions, ideologies, and positions. Most articles address the relationship of the plays and performances to colonial history, memory, and nationalist consciousness and ideologies.
