The history is virtually unknown to people in the US and the dramatization is a bit...unconsciously racist. In the second half especially, the white female lead gets her story fully dramatized while the black characters relate some of the most important chunks of their stories in monolog. While this gives black performers opportunities for bravura acting, it does not involve us in the same way the white characters stories do. The black characters are othered.
With all the great black British writers of Caribbean decent, why would they have a white women who has lived all her life in Britain write the adaptation? |
