Crossroads in the Black Aegean: Oedipus, Antigone, and Dramas of the African Diaspora - Classical Presences
Goff, Barbara (Professor of Classics, Department of Classics, University of Reading)
This is a fascinating study of African rewritings of Greek tragedy. The authors ask why the plays of Sophocles' Theban Cycle are so often adapted by dramatists of African descent, and how plays that dilate on the power of the past, in the inexorable curse of Oedipus and the regressive obsession of Antigone, can articulate the postcolonial moment.
