Description:Winner, Distinguished Book Award, American Alliance for Theatre & Education, 2009In today's multicultural world there is an urgent need for more plays and books that represent a diverse array of ethnic groups. Theatre and book critics, scholars, and theatre professionals have long campaigned for a broader representation of minorities in book and play publishing.In this anthology, renowned theatre expert Coleman A. Jennings has compiled a selection of plays by José Cruz González that meets these multicultural demands head-on. Gonzalez is a foremost voice in theatre for children and youth whose plays address themes, often through imaginary lands and extraordinary characters, faced by children in their everyday lives.Born to migrant workers in Calexico, California, in 1957, Gonzalez learned at a young age how to tap into the vast world of his imagination.
