- Summary:
-
There are many important reasons for including black theatre as part of an interdisciplinary approach to the humanities. One of the most important reasons is that black theatre provides nonblacks, as well as blacks, the opportunity to gain knowledge about the black experience. Black theatre reflects the sociology, politics, economics, religion, and history--in short, the total experience--of blacks. It provides nonblack students with a means of studying the experiences of people in other cultures. Black theatre also meets the demand for relevant studies, and it helps to restore to blacks the self-esteem that has been eroded by continual exposure to nonblack theatre and education. Although it has been argued that the interdisciplinary approach and the inclusion of black theatre in the curriculum reflect a tendency to teach too many subjects without providing sufficient depth of learning, once students are introduced to the totality of human experience, many will return to study individual subjects in depth.
