"Macbeth in Harlem is a journey into the past that makes the present even more relevant than it would seem to be at first glance, simply because it throws up the past as proof that we have not gone very far in eradicating past inequities as we would liketo think we have. It discusses the ways in which race has made black theater crawl, clown and debase itself. And in spite of that the black persona, the black mask has not only met the challenge and triumphed over it, it has also, through its enviable gifts, enriched American theater beyond ways that would not have been possible without it. Indeed, the book is a challenge to commercial theater in particular, which is where the money is, to own up to its refusal to make black theater that is not race neutral a part of what it offers to the theater going public"--

In 1936 Orson Welles directed a celebrated all-black production of Macbeth that was hailed as a breakthrough for African Americans in the theater. For over a century, black performers had fought for the right to perform on the American stage, going all the way back to an 1820s Shakespearean troupe that performed Richard III, Othello, and Macbeth, without relying on white patronage.

"Macbeth" in Harlem tells the story of these actors and their fellow black theatrical artists, from the early nineteenth century to the dawn of the civil rights era. For the first time we see how African American performers fought to carve out a space for authentic black voices onstage, at a time when blockbuster plays like Uncle Tom&;s Cabin and The Octoroon trafficked in cheap stereotypes. Though the Harlem Renaissance brought an influx of talented black writers and directors to the forefront of the American stage, they still struggled to gain recognition from an indifferent critical press.

Above all, "Macbeth" in Harlem is a testament to black artistry thriving in the face of adversity. It chronicles how even as the endemic racism in American society and its theatrical establishment forced black performers to abase themselves for white audiences&; amusement, African Americans overcame those obstacles to enrich the nation&;s theater in countless ways.

Macbeth in Harlem tells the story of African American actors, playwrights, directors, and producers who worked to carve out a space for authentic black voices onstage and in every venue from the early 19th century to the dawn of the Civil Rights era. Above all, it is a testament to black artistry thriving in spite of the odds and in the face of the harshest adversity.

Recenzijas

"Clifford Mason's 'Macbeth' in Harlem is a fascinating, comprehensive, and personalized account of the history of African American theater. The book guides us through the early musicals, plays, and performers who, despite enormous obstacles, created theatrical successes. Mason offers a richly detailed and broadly conceived study of this exciting period before the landmark A Raisin in the Sun." David Krasner, author of A Beautiful Pageant: African American Theatre, Drama, and Performance during the Harlem Re "In 'Macbeth' in Harlem, Clifford Mason compellingly recounts the triumphs, struggles, and perseverance of early black theater practitioners. Performing Shakespeare as well as other dramatists became a vehicle for these daring, resilient, and, as Mason notes, heroic black artists to resist racism and share their genius. Moving from Ira Aldridge to Paul Robeson, from the early 1800s all the way up and through the 1950s, Mason's lively chronicle is both revealing in its historic detail and relevant to the position of black theater arts today."   Harry J. Elam, Jr., co-editor Afro-American Theatre and Performance History Macbeth in Harlem interview with Clifford Mason on the Root and Roots Show The Root and Roots Show "Clifford Mason's Macbeth in Harlem astutely combines cultural studies, memoir, and personal recollection into a must-read narrative history of African American theatre from its beginnings to A Raisin in the Sun. Using a rather informal yet compelling mode of storytelling, Mason illuminates the underlying complexity, fraught tensions, and tribulations that define this history. More than thirty years in the making, this study is a rewarding act of textual recovery, one that profitably retraces and reinterprets our extant knowledge of Black theatre."   John Edgar Tidwell, co-author of My Dear Boy: Carrie Hughes's Letters to Langston to Hughes, 1926-1938 "Mason's voice shines bright and clear throughout, especially as he discusses the indignities that Black actors endured just to perform live theater Mason also offers the provocative assertion that 'the true romance of America was the romance of the fugitive slave.' He contrasts the slave narrative with other sentimental US tales, including the displacement of Indigenous people, the 'New England character' of Emerson and Hawthorne, or the 'Virginia plantocracy' of Thackeray."

New Books Network - New Books in Intellectual History "Mason's book is one part history, one part memoir, and one part cultural history study. As a gifted playwright, Mason writes in a narrative style that is engaging and stirring. Highly recommended." Choice "Engaging, analytical, and a refreshing historical account of the development of black theater in the United States from slavery and Reconstruction to the 1950s, Clifford Mason's important book brilliantly analyzes challenges, setbacks, and persistent creative modes of black expression that gave rise to black careers on and off stage. Walking readers through different historical episodes and moments in chronological order, from early to mid-twentieth century U.S. history, including the creation of the African Grove Theatre, Ira Aldridge's fame as a Shakespearean legend, and the successful undertakings of playwright Eugene O'Neil and actors Charles Gilpin and Paul Robeson all the way up to A Raisin in the Sun, Mason unapologetically documents social forces, inspiring events, and circumstances that were driven by the artistic inspirations, achievements, and show business successes of major black entertainment professionals." Ronald J. Stephens, author of Idlewild: The Rise, Decline, and Rebirth of a Unique African American Resort Town "A timely book...His commentary is important; some observations spot-on."
