PURLIE VICTORIOUS: A COMMEMORATIVE by Ossie Davis, published by Emmalyn Enterprises, 124 pgs., ISBN 0-9638416-0-2 HC, ISBN 0-9638416-1-0 PB. "On September 29, 1961, in the midst of the nationwide struggle by African-Americans for civil rights, PURLIE VICTORIOUS opened on Broadway at the Cort Theatre. In the audience was Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, the spiritual father of that struggle. He was 93 years old; still he insisted on climbing the stairs to our dressing room..." What was it about this play that brought both Martin Luther King, Jr., & Malcolm X up those same stairs? Before the end of the play's eight month run, Reverend Purlie Victorious Judson would strike both America's funnybone & its raw nerve endings! It was a comedy that mocked segregation, but there were those black & white who didn't think that racism was a laughing matter. Now, more than thirty years later, Ossie Davis shares his personal notes on the origins & context of Purlie Victorious - from his own childhood in Georgia to his belief in the revealing & healing power of laughter. Here too, are the recollections of some of his co-stars in the original cast: Ruby Dee, Alan Alda, Beah Richards; & the producer, Phil Rose. And, of course, there is the play itself. The inimitable mix of folktale & fable, sermon & story, legend & lie that still speaks quite eloquently for itself. To order write: Emmalyn Enterprises, P.O. Box 696, New Rochelle, NY 10802.

A passionate ode to an American mecca, Beloved Harlem is a literary look into the vibrant African-American haven, edited by one of its celebrated native sons. William H. Banks, Jr., combines the classics with the contemporary as he showcases some of the best essays, short stories, and novel excerpts inspired by the diversity of Harlem life, from the early twentieth century to the new millennium. The days and nights of black Manhattan come alive in the words of historically famous writers like W.E.B. Dubois, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Dorothy West, Ossie Davis, and Toni Morrison, along with the works of brilliant newcomers to the neighborhood, including Brian Keith Jackson’s witty examination of identity politics in The Queen of Harlem and Rosemarie Robatham’s “Dreaming in Harlem,” a moving tale about a woman at the edge of society who finds sanctuary with a stranger. From renaissance through tough times to revitalization, this triumphant homage gives Harlem the historical perspective it so rightly deserves. Beloved Harlem is a welcome addition to the libraries of readers who are either already in love with Harlem or ready to take the fall.

This text examines American norms of masculinity and their role in the law, with essays from legal academics, literary scholars, and judges. Together, these papers reinvigorate the law-and-literature movement by bringing a range of methodological and disciplinary perspectives to bear on the complex interactions of masculinity with both law and literature - ultimately shedding light on all three.

This wide-ranging, two-volume encyclopedia of musicals old and new will captivate young fans—and prove invaluable to those contemplating staging a musical production. Written with high school students in mind, The World of Musicals: An Encyclopedia of Stage, Screen, and Song encompasses not only Broadway and film musicals, but also made-for-television musicals, a genre that has been largely ignored. The two volumes cover significant musicals in easily accessible entries that offer both useful information and fun facts. Each entry lists the work's writers, composers, directors, choreographers, and cast, and includes a song list, a synopsis, and descriptions of the original production and important revivals or remakes. Biographical entries share the stories of some of the brightest and most celebrated talents in the business. The encyclopedia will undoubtedly ignite and feed student interest in musical theatre. At the same time, it will prove a wonderful resource for teachers or community theatre directors charged with selecting and producing shows. In fact, anyone interested in theatre, film, television, or music will be fascinated by the work's tantalizing bits of historical and theatre trivia.

New York City's Broadway district is by far the most prestigious and lucrative venue for American performers, playwrights, entertainers and technicians. While there are many reference works and critical studies of selected Broadway plays or musicals and even more works about the highlights of the American theater, this is the first single-volume book to cover all of the activities on Broadway between 1919 and 2007. More than 14,000 productions are briefly described, including hundreds of plays, musicals, revivals, and specialty programs. Entries include famous and forgotten works, designed to give a complete picture of Broadway's history and development, its evolution since the early twentieth century, and its rise to unparalleled prominence in the world of American theater. The productions are identified in terms of plot, cast, personnel, critical reaction, and significance in the history of New York theater and culture. In addition to a chronological list of all Broadway productions between 1919 and 2007, the book also includes approximately 600 important productions performed on Broadway before 1919.
