The central argument hinges on the crossroads at which, for the successful integration of drama and ritual, aesthetic boldness, radical politics, and epistemological daring meet and clash. Deploying the notion of suspension of ritual disbelief as its central heuristic, the study explores the question of whether or not it is necessary for a playwright and her audience to believe in the gods and their rituals for ritual motifs and idioms to be successfully or productively integrated with dialogue drama. The author examines formal technique, thematic concerns, and cultural location – Africa/Diaspora – in three plays by Euba: The Devil, The Gulf, and The Eye of Gabriel.","PeriodicalId":44108,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Studies-Global Currents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48688913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As I narrate Euba’s artistic trajectory, I keep Wole Soyinka in sight, reflecting on the ways his mentorship and collaboration opened pathways in theater, creative writing and criticism that Euba, as a prominent member of Soyinka’s circle, utilized and took in new directions. In discussing Euba’s theory of Drama of Epidemic, his acting performance of Colonel Moses in Òpèrá Wónyòsi (1977), and his play The Gulf (1991), I argue that Euba’s theatrical works are defined by the crossroads, a flexible paradigm that informs intercultural creativity, as well as temporal transgressions. I argue that multitemporality in Euba’s works creates a postcolonial futurity, which aligns agency over processes of becoming with an ongoing struggle in the present to make sense of the aftermath of slavery and colonialism.","PeriodicalId":44108,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Studies-Global Currents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49156724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before the groundswell of diasporan and Atlantic Studies began, Euba pointed to the centrality of West African myth, ritual, and performance in the literatures and cultures of the Americas. Alongside critics like Henry Louis Gates, Jr., he added to the body of comparative work on Esu in the African diaspora. I discuss Euba’s novel Camwood at Crossroads and his play The Eye of Gabriel with respect to postmodern and postcolonial cultural theory as well as his own theories of Black Atlantic culture. The essay highlights how Euba’s career has influenced multiple circles, from larger academic discourses like Africana Studies to the community of his students and colleagues at Louisiana State University.","PeriodicalId":44108,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Studies-Global Currents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43378514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One major finding is the division between the Catholic French-Caribbean side on the east and the Anglican Anglo- and Dutch-Caribbean side of the west, the latter of which was home to a number of merchants owning high amounts of enslaved people. This spatial division was also parallel to the political differences between the merchant elite and the Swedish colonial administration. Furthermore, this article encourages additional GIS studies of predemocratic Caribbean cities, particularly regarding spatial division between whites and free people of color.","PeriodicalId":44108,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Studies-Global Currents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43815417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since at least the 1940s, scholars have argued about what constitutes resistance, what motivated slave rebels, agency, and how best to approach the documentary record among many other topics. More so than in most subfields, scholarship on slave resistance often resonates with contemporary political and cultural movements for racial equity. This review essay considers three new works on slave resistance.","PeriodicalId":44108,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Studies-Global Currents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41942999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adopting George Bornstein’s “bibliographic code” as a methodological approach, I trace the transatlantic itineraries of three poems by Langston Hughes, Sterling A. Brown, and James Weldon Johnson. A reading of the interlingual translation against its bibliographic code reveals the ironies and intricacies of texts in circulation, products of translation practices seeking to transcend structures of national particularity, and editorial practices seeking to reify them.","PeriodicalId":44108,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Studies-Global Currents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45383220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sometimes called the “Father of Impressionism,” Pissarro, a Caribbean native of Sephardic Jewish descent, came of age during a cycle of slave rebellions and abolitions during the 1830s and 1840s. His earliest work focused on formerly enslaved people in the first phase of liberation. Pissarro’s West Indian studies anticipated his emergence as an influential avant-garde artist and left a rich visual archive of freed people. This study uses Pissarro’s art as a window onto the possibilities of, and restrictions on, post-emancipation life. It also argues that Pissarro’s aesthetic vision and stylistic innovations, influenced by his exposure to West Indian culture, connect the Black Atlantic and the Impressionist movement.","PeriodicalId":44108,"journal":{"name":"Atlantic Studies-Global Currents","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47054747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
