Editors: Martin Banham, James Gibbs, Femi Osofisan and Jane Plastow Publisher: Witswatersrand University Press () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 178 Dimensions: 21.5 x 14 x 1 cm +++ edited by Martin Banham, James Gibbs, Femi Osofisan and Jane Plastow +++ Women have struggled to be heard in the world of modern African theatre. Traditionally they had secure roles as dancers, singers and storytellers, but as theatre became professionalised and commercialised, control increasingly lay with the literate elites. This volume is testimony to the scope of their work as playwrights, musicians and actors from the Algerian diaspora to the new South Africa.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
