Book Description
In the years between the Harlem Renaissance and World War II, African American playwrights gave birth to a vital black theater movement in the U.S. It was a movement overwhelmingly concerned with the role of religion in black identity. In a time of profound social transformation fueled by a massive migration from the rural south to the urban‑industrial centers of the north, scripts penned by dozens of black playwrights reflected cultural tensions, often rooted in class, that revealed competing conceptions of religion's role in the formation of racial identity. Black playwrights pointed in quite different ways toward approaches to church, scripture, belief, and ritual that they deemed beneficial to the advancement of the race. Their plays were important not only in mirroring theological reflection of the time, but in helping to shape African American thought about religion in black communities. The religious themes of these plays were in effect arguments about the place of religion in African American lives. In Staging Faith, Craig R. Prentiss illuminates the creative strategies playwrights used to grapple with religion. With a lively and engaging style, the volume brings long forgotten plays to life as it chronicles the cultural and religious fissures that marked early twentieth century African American society. Craig R. Prentiss is Professor of Religious Studies at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. He is the editor of Religion and the Creation of Race and Ethnicity: An Introduction (New York University Press, 2003).

"It's a rare pleasure to read translations of poems that convey them as poetry. These versions from the Bengali . . . evoke that thrill of recognition: that across culture and language we are encountering a great world poet. [Her] vision is simultaneously poetic and political, local and horizonless, moved by love and utterly unsentimental."a?Adrienne Rich "You cannot read these poems without being transformed by the hot breath of the gods, the eternal sweetness of flowers, and the soul of this powerful poet as she mesmerizes you. . . . This is one of the finest collections of poetry I have come across in recent years. You need this book."a?Joy Harjo "These are excellent translations of an unusual poetry, harsh and ambiguous and beautiful."a?Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni "The real India of Mahapatra's Another Spring, Darkness is truly human, emotionally moving, and rendered in a poetry as graceful as it is gritty."a?Joseph Bruchac This is the first English translation of poetry by a working-class woman from West Bengal. Her poetic world is isolated, vast, impoverisheda'full of disturbing visions and surrealistic juxtapositions at the edge of myth.
