"Like American society in general, American theatre has become enriched with the diverse flavors of many cuyltures. A new dramatic literatura, full of vivid , compelling, poetic works, is taking shape on stages throughout the United States. The first major collection of these plays presents six outstanding authors who write in English but draw their vaiours Hispani backgrounds. While these plays are often linked by the commnonalities of family and religion, and draw inspiration from a passionately recollected heritgae, they eahc examine contemporary life from a unique, widely varying perspective and in starlingly diferent, often challenging ways. Now they are available to anyone who loves the theatre and treasures the roots of variety that nourish this nation." contraportada
