lang=FR style='font-size:12.0pt'>Taking its cue from Eugene O'Neill's
questioning of «faithful realism», voiced by Edmund Tyrone in <i>Long Day's
Journey into Night</i>, this book examines the distant legacy of the Irish
American playwright in contemporary multiethnic drama in the U.S. It explores
the labyrinth of formal devices through which African American, Latina/o, First
Nations, and Asian American dramatists have unconsciously reinterpreted
O'Neill's questioning of mimesis. In their works, hybridizations of stage
realism function as aesthetic celebrations of the spiritual potentialities of
cultural in-betweenness. This volume provides detailed analyses of over forty
plays authored by such key artists as August Wilson, Suzan-Lori Parks, José
Rivera, Cherríe Moraga, Hanay Geiogamah, Diane Glancy, David Henry Hwang, and
Chay Yew, to give only a few prominent examples. All in all, <i>Labyrinth of
Hybridities </i>invites its readers to reassess the cross-cultural patterns
characterizing the history of twentieth century American drama.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
