Contributors to this collection of 15 essays are academics in English, theater, and
African American studies. They focus on the second half of Wilson's century cycle
of plays, examining each play within the larger context of the cycle and highlighting
themes within and across particular plays. Some topics discussed include business
in the street in Jitney and Gem of the Ocean, contesting black male responsibilities
in Jitney, the holyistic blues of Seven Guitars, violence as history lesson in Seven
Guitars and King Hedley II, and ritual death and Wilson's female Christ. The book
offers an index of plays, critics, and theorists, but not a subject index. Nadel is
chair of American literature and culture at the University of Kentucky
