1. 1. The Politics Of Adaptation

   Contemporary African Drama and Greek Tragedy

   

   An examination of how contemporary African playwrights rewrite ancient Greek tragedies to interrogate postcolonial identities, power relations, and cultural hierarchies. Through close readings and performance analysis, it presents adaptation as a political practice that negotiates between canonical authority and local contexts, challenging Eurocentric universals while engaging questions of language, translation, gender, and nationhood. The study argues that these reworkings critique colonial legacies and reinvent tragedy’s civic and ethical dimensions for contemporary audiences.
