Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Often regarded as a poet alone, Sonia Sanchez is, in truth, one of the most prolific African American woman writers of the twentieth century, and the only African American woman playwright to receive widespread recognition for her contributions to the Black Arts movement during its own time. Wood's introduction to I'm Black When I'm Singing acts as a primer for readers and students unfamiliar with Sanchez's accomplishments as a playwright and her influence on black feminist theatre.
