African Popular Theatre From Pre-colonial Times to the Present Day David Kerr, Lecturer in the International Relations of China School of Government and International Affairs Research Associate Centre for Contemporary Chinese Studies David Kerr, PH.

In this survey of theatre forms in sub-Saharan Africa from pre-colonial times to the present day, popular theatre is interpreted widely to include not only conventional drama, but such non-literary forms of performance as dance, mime, dramatised story-telling, masquerades, improvised urban vaudeville theatre, and the theatre of resistance and social action. The book also considers theatre embedded in the modern media of film, radio and television.
