Essays across the volume provide fresh methodologies for analysing not only tucker green's theatre, but theatre at large\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eby engaging with Kamau Brathwaite and Tricia Rose on Caribbean musicality, Henry Louis Gates Jr on black meaning-making, Sara Ahmed and María Lugones on aggression as resistance to injustice, and Homi K. Bhabha and Stuart Hall on hybrid identities. The essays make a convincing case for tucker green as the most important artist and most dedicated human rights activist on the stage today.\"- Professor Clare Finburgh Delijani, Goldsmiths University of London, UK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis long-awaited book is the first full-length study of the work of the extraordinary contemporary black British playwright, debbie tucker green. Covering the period from 2000 (\u003ci\u003eTwo Women\u003c\/i\u003e) to 2017 (\u003ci\u003ea profoundly affectionate, passionate devotion to someone (-noun))\u003c\/i\u003e, it offers scholars and students the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge critical debate engendered by tucker green's innovative dramatic works for stage, television, and radio. This groundbreaking book includes contributions by a range of outstanding scholars, including black playwriting specialists, world-leading contemporary theatre scholars and some of the very best emerging researchers in the field. While always focused on the precision and detail of tucker green's work, this book simultaneously reframes broader debates around contemporary drama and its politics, poses new questions of theatre, and provokes scholarly thinking in ways that, however obliquely, contribute to the change for which the plays agitate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr Siân Adiseshiah is Senior Lecturer in English and Drama at Loughborough University.
