About the Author
Anthony D. Hill, emeritus professor, Department of Theatre, The Ohio State, is a writer, director, and administrator who also taught at Queens College, Vassar College and University of California at Santa Barbara. He is author of The A to Z of African American Theatre (2009); Historical Dictionary of African American Theatre (2008); and Pages from the Harlem Renaissance: A Chronicle of Performance (1996, fourth printing).
Highly Recommended: The second edition of Hill's Historical
Dictionary of African American Theater is a significant expansion
of the first. It retains the original features—including a
chronology, introductory essay, bibliography, and appendixes—nearly
doubles the number of entries of the original, and adds coverage of
the ten years since the first edition was published. Most entries
are brief, but Hill (emer., Ohio State) provides longer entries for
the Civil Rights Movement, August Wilson, and several notable
theaters. Entries are extensively cross-referenced, emphasizing the
connections between the people, organizations, themes, and (new to
this edition) design technicians. Given its updated coverage and
the significant increase in the number of entries, this volume
replaces the earlier edition. Valuable for those interested in
theater or African American studies.
