The Dutchman and the Slave
U**6
Great and necessary 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.

Astonishing plays that should be better known in the UK
Bought for THE DUTCHMAN. A play that is compelling, shocking and very thought provoking. Just wish it was available for Kindle.

A classic
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.
