D: On dealing with your Beatrice Chancy, Gale's Angelique, Boyd's Consecrated Ground and Moodie's Riot within the context of Bhabha's ‘third space' , Albert Memmi's 'the colonizer' and 'the colonized', Frantz Fanon's psycho-analytic theory on oppression, Aime Cesaire's concept of “thingification" and Lawrence Levine's  definition of  popular  black art and culture to convey the Afro-American experience in America  and on attempting to explore the transhistorical contours of black Canadians as envisioned in the  works in question, I realized the following: The four plays, in varied ways, are but havens and socio- cultural alternative spaces for black Canadians who lived, worked, resisted, refused and died due to unprecedented practices of capture, torture and execution. You, Gale, Boyd and Moodie attempted to carve out through your literary imagination socio-cultural and political avenues of ‘belonging.' You attempted to remove the pernicious effects of colonization via writing anticolonial theatre of resistance, of refusal, and of anger, am I right? (Though, I believe right or wrong is not the case here).
