![]() ![]() the traditional battling or trying to coexist with the modern. but i can never get enough of that kind of narrative. girl goes against tradition because she is different, traditional parents lament,etc etc. anowa, the second play, was pretty textbook. the misunderstandings and the need of atu (who was stuck between his african family and african american wife) to please both sides and failing miserably at doing either was so realistic and funny to me. being nigerian american, i'm acutely aware of this friction. but i love that dilemma of a ghost addressed the relationship of african americans and africans. americans don't say "take the lot", for example. ![]() my only quibble is that the african american character in dilemma of a ghost sounded more british than american. i read dilemma of a ghost as an undergrad, so it's been a while. ![]()
