Wilson's views haven't changed. The plight of black theater, he says, is even worse today, while color-blind casting has exploded--Denzel Washington in Julius Caesar and James Earl Jones in On Golden Pond on Broadway this spring alone. "If I see a production of Gem of the Ocean with a white cast, maybe I'll change my mind. But Death of a Salesman with a black cast--that's not the way blacks respond to this problem. It's a white play. It's intended to be." He realizes that is not a popular view among African...
...father of homespun African socialism, he has been one of the Third World's most prominent statesmen. But to the more than 20 million people of Tanzania, the nation he founded, Julius Kambarage Nyerere, 63, is best known simply as Mwalimu, Ki-swahili for "teacher."

But here's a refreshing surprise: this season's revivals have been outshone by an unusually rich supply of new plays and musicals...
Africans are becoming increasingly impatient with the austerity measures that the IMF demands in exchange for its loans. Tanzanian President Julius Nyerere calls the IMF a "substitute for colonialism," charging that it and other international institutions have become "tools of the rich nations to control the economies of poor nations." The fund has been particularly unpopular in Sudan, where a military coup toppled the government three weeks ago. Before his overthrow, President Gaafar Nimeiri had been unable to fashion an economic program that satisfied the IMF. As a result, aid from creditor nations was cut off, and a lack...
