Tale of Black Histories

This website is a dramaturgical companion to Tale of Black Histories, our (co-authored with Andrew Daily) translation and critical edition of Glissant's Histoire de nègre (1971). 

The website :

  • houses recordings of the original, traditional Creole songs called for in the script and
  • documents stagings and
  • shares ideas for renewing the play’s intellectual, historical, and activist objectives.

Please contact me (sahakian@uga.edu) if you would like your staging (whether a full-scale performance or a class workshop) to be included.
