Peer reviewed
Radical Black Theatre in the New Deal
Between 1935 and 1939, the United States government paid out-of-work artists to write, act, and stage theatre as part of the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), a New Deal job relief program.

In this fresh history of the FTP Negro Units, Kate Dossett ex…

Keisha N. Blain's fabulous study of black nationalist women will shape the field for some time to come.
