Una Marson 1905-1965,

Pocomania and London calling / PRINT London calling Una Marson. - xxvii, 154 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm

"Two plays from one of Jamaica's most important feminists and dramatists. This first publication of Una Marson's insightful and engaging dramatic work is long overdue. Pocomania is among the most important Caribbean plays ever written. First staged at the dawn of the region's stride toward nationalism and independence, it heralded a new era of Jamaican and Caribbean dramas one unafraid of taking a serious took at the people, the culture and thelanguage. Though London Calling features citizens from a fictional country,the play uncovers the all too real anxieties surrounding race, class, identity and migration in early twentieth century London. These plays grapple with class, race, gender, language and culture as they explore the tensions at the nexus of prejudice and the performance of blackness."--Page 4 of cover.
