Yorùbá Performance, Theatre and Politics: Staging Resistance

This book explains the connections between traditional performance (e.g. masked dances, prophecy, praise recitations), contemporary theatre (Wole Soyinka, Ola Rotimi, Tess Onwueme, Femi Osofisan, and Stella Oyedepo), and the political sphere in the context of the Yorùbá people in Nigeria.
