The relationship between religion and theater is part of the black dramatic heritage, he argues; also influential is the African tradition of the "griot," a historian-storyteller. Crosswinds presents playwrights from Africa, the Caribbean, South America, Europe, and the United States, including works by Wole Soyinka, Amiri Baraka, August Wilson, and Branch himself. Powerful and rich, this outstanding contribution to theater arts is recommended for contemporary literature and black studies collections.- Howard E.
