Abstract
Ethnic racism and Identity in britain: An ethnic - studies reading of selected plays, examines the dramatic representations of ethnic racism and identity in britain in six plays by black british playwrights: Caribbean - british mustapha matura’s welcome Home Jacko (1979) and Roy Williams’ sing yer heart out for the Lads (2002), south - asian- british Hanif Kureishi’s borderline (1981) and Ayub Khan-Din’s east is east (1997), and African - british Kwame Kwei - Armah’s fix up (2004) and Bola Agbaje’s Gone too far! (2007). The study argues that in these examples of black british drama the playwrights experiment with form and subject matter in order to offer a different and distinctive voice for black british citizens of caribbean, Asian or African descent against ethnic racism and to present a counter discourse to the white mainstream drama. To achieve its purpose, the study employs concepts and tools of ethnic studies as a contextual method, and semiotics, as a textual method, to study ethnic racism and identity in the selected plays
