Four Black Revolutionary Plays

These four one-act plays deal with the African-American experience of today as much as they did over 50 years ago when first produced. Their central elements are love and hatred echoed in violently explosive words, actions, thoughts and metaphor. The sum total of three hundred years of contained fury, they are powerful statements about the real meaning of white oppression of black people. In their militancy and anger, they perfectly express the mood and frustrations of black America.

This edition contains a foreword by playright, novelist, journalist and lecturer Lindsay Barrett, who has also made widely acclaimed radio and TV programs on jazz, the arts and African cultural matters.

The plays are:
Experimental Death Unit 1
A Black Mass
Mad Heart
Great Goodness of Life
