A Tempest (Oberon Modern Plays) - Softcover
A witty and fiercely anti-colonialist revision of Shakespeare s island fling, Csaire turns it into a brilliant assertion of black identity. Prospero is an exiled tyrant, while Caliban becomes a mutinous figure who has clear affinities with Malcolm X. Csaire, major poet, Martinique politician, and coiner of the term negritude has presented not simply a new reading of The Tempest but an original play of astonishing power. This translation was first performed at the Gate Theatre in 1998.

About the Author:
Aime Cesaire has combined a political career as Martinican statesman with poetic calling in which he has been hailed as the leading Francophone poet of the twentieth century. Anti-colonialist visionary and prophet of negritude, his influence has been considerable in shaping ongoing post-colonial debate.
