"Djola Branner's first collection of dramatic work 'takes the reader on a journey through blackness and queerness in ways that stretch the imagination and chronicle the history of black peoples in the diaspora, ' says E. Patrick Johnson, professor of performance studies at Northwestern University. Comprised of short plays Cover (2006), Oranges & honey (2005), The house that crack built (1996) and a full-length Sash & Trim (2008), this volume 'expands the boundaries of "black" art by experimenting with form, and bringing to the fore questions of gender and sexuality'"--Publisher description.
