This book is a study of post‐apartheid identity formation through an analysis of South African drama. Anton Krueger, a playwright and academic, looks at about a dozen plays written in English and produced between 1994 and 2004. The book is 231 pages and is divided into seven parts and subdivided into 28 chapters of varying lengths. The book’s stated intention in its introduction is to “examine a number of play texts as cultural signs” (xiii) in the interest of analyzing their potential as a site and an agent of cultural transformation.
