Staging Black Feminisms sets out to challenge perceptions of black women’s theatre work as inherently feminist. Drawing on black feminist theories of identity and theories of black and feminist performance form, it analyses key themes such as migration, motherhood, sexuality, mixed race identity and interracial relationships in a range of late-twentieth and early twenty-first century black British women’s plays and performances.
