Dutchman and The Slave: Two Plays

These plays are must reads and viewings (if possible; there is at least one film I know of for Dutchman. Baraka speaks what most white Americans have little to no knowledge of and black Americans know all too well but rarely say in mixed company. Read this book and be educated.

LeRoi Jones, now known as Amiri Baraka, wrote Dutchman in 1964, but its themes of racism and fear still resonate today. A must for anyone studying African American literature and contemporary drama -- it is a seminal work. The Slave is less successful -- its message is muddled and the dialogue stilted -- yet it is worth reading to get a complete view of Baraka's work.

This product was very good and the book was even better.

I had to read this for a college class. It was interesting and kept my attention, but I don't know what to compare it to. I haven't read many plays aside shakespeare and a few from highschool.

Highly recommend reading!

If you've ever met anyone like the characters in these plays let me know because I certainly haven't.

Amazing, thought provoking text.

I only had to read Dutchman. It’s really good! Highly recommend.

An excellent and well written play.The Dutchman looks at where race and flirting collide on a USA underground train.Gripping and harrowing stuff

The condition of the book was perfect, the delivery was very fast. I can only recommend everybody to shop here!

Bought for THE DUTCHMAN. A play that is compelling, shocking and very thought provoking. Just wish it was available for Kindle.
