I don't like the title, but I do like what is being attempted and the idea that what women have gone through in Africa can be brought into a play. It is a step.</em> </p> <p><em>The next one, I think, will happen when plays are written straight from the lives or the stories (as Prof. Micere Githae Mugo once told me--see </em>Silences in African History, <em>p. 9) which "refuse to be written" because the young girl who could not do the assignment (of talking to a MauMau veteran) had been raped by the very person she was supposed to go and talk to. He had raped her after he came back from one of the concentration camps set up by the British under the MauMau. There, he had been tortured and, as a consequence, lost his mind.--Jacques Depelchin</em> <span class='read-more'><a href="http://otabenga.org/node/158">&nbsp;read&nbsp;more&nbsp;&raquo;</a></span></p> http://otabenga.org/node/158#comments Celia McGee connecting Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:42:46 -0700 otabenga1 158 at http://otabenga.org
