EXPERIENCING WS

> "Experiencing WS is a deeply engaging, exceedingly insightful, and well-written account of the experience and history of acting and directing since the mid-twentieth century. Its originality is manifested in every paragraph; its cumulative impact creates a revolutionary path to the understanding of acting in post-colonial Africa; its fabulous take on the mentor-mentee relationship is so compelling as to lead to an analytical framework on how to teach others. Euba has achieved what is hard to come by: a fact-based, rigorous, and sincere take on African theater situated within a rich historical context in order to understand the complexities of individual characters in their lived realities, along with the politics and culture of watershed moments. This fascinating book will certainly hold the interest of the reader from the very first page to the last." > > - Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin; author of Counting the Tiger's Teeth: An African Teenager's Story
