Mzo Sirayi has embarked on a highly impressive and daring enterprise with the
unfl inching boldness of a scholar who is driven by a passionate pursuit to set the
record straight. He manages to pull no punches and make no apologies by being true
to his convictions, especially within the context of a new South Africa. The book
adopts a largely historicized, critical and analytical perspective, which strikingly
approximates that of postcolonial theory.

This new and authoritative book is an excellent addition to the few existing books
on black South African drama and theatre. South African Drama and Th eatre from
Pre-colonial Times to 1990s: An Alternative Reading takes the reader on a tour of
the indigenous as well as the modern South African theatre zones. The chapters
reverberate with echoes of Africanisation and rock on renaissance waves. This exciting
and stimulating book is transparently readable, accessible and is of inestimable value
to academics and general readers.
