Publisher's Synopsis
Rachel: A Play In Three Acts is a play written by Angelina W. Grimke and first published in 1920. The play is set in the United States during the early 20th century and explores themes of racial prejudice and discrimination. The main character, Rachel, is a young African American woman who is struggling to find her place in a society that is hostile to her and her people. The play follows Rachel's journey as she tries to navigate the challenges of being black in a white-dominated world, while also grappling with her own identity and sense of self-worth. Throughout the play, Rachel is confronted with various obstacles and injustices, including racism, sexism, and violence, but she remains resilient and determined to fight for her rights and dignity. Grimke's play is a powerful commentary on the social and political realities of the time and remains a significant work of African American literature today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
