The Dramatic Genius of Charles Fuller; An African American Playwright - Asante Molefi Kete

Few critics have examined Fuller seriously, and in some ways his work, like that of other Black writers, has fallen outside the gaze of contemporary literary and dramatic writers even though he has received some of the highest awards in the nation. Part of this is because few African American dramatists have been looked at critically or studied in classrooms or spoken of in terms of their philosophy, style, originality, and brilliance. This book brings a critical reading and sympathetic location of Fuller's drama in the center of African American dramatic and social history.
