This collection of five award-winning plays by Charles Smith includes Jelly Belly, Free Man of Color, Pudd’nhead Wilson, Knock Me a Kiss, and The Gospel According to James. Powerful, provocative, and entertaining, these plays have been produced by professional theater companies across the country and abroad. Four of the plays are based on historical people and events from W.E.B. Du Bois and Countee Cullen to the Harlem Renaissance. Accurate in the way they capture the political and cultural milieu of their historical settings, and courageous in the way they grapple with difficult questions such as race, education, religion, and social class, these plays jump off the page just as powerfully as they come to life on stage. This first-ever collection from one of the nation’s leading African American playwrights is a journey down the complex road of race and history.

Un motif théorique saillant s'est imposé dans le champ des études de la culture et des arts depuis les années 1970 : celui de la figure active du sujet de la réception, telle une incarnation de l'émancipation face à une œuvre. Les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage montrent qu'il existe d'autres pratiques artistiques et culturelles collectives d'émancipation, et que leur étude pourrait se passer des catégories herméneutiques de lecteur et de spectateur. Comment peut-on alors appréhender ces formes de l'agir créatif ? À quel niveau portent-elles les outils de leur propre théorisation ? En s'arrêtant aussi bien sur les nouvelles technologies de production des images que sur les initiatives qui investissent des lieux publics, l'ouvrage donne matière à penser à nouveaux frais l'articulation entre subjectivation et changements sociaux, tout comme les enjeux politiques des pratiques culturelles et les conditions de leur intégration dans le champ élargi de l'art.
