Description: "In her play Yellowman, a finalist for the 2001 Pulitzer Prize, Alma and Eugene have known each other since they were young children. As their friendship blossoms into love, Alma struggles to free herself from her mother's poverty and alcoholism, while Eugene must contend with the legacy of being "yellow" - lighter-skinned than his brutal and unforgiving father.".

"This edition also includes My Red Hand, My Black Hand, in which a young woman explores her heritage as the child of a blues-loving Native American man and a black sharecropper's daughter from Virginia. Alternatively joyous and harrowing, both plays are powerful examinations of the racial tensions that fracture families, communities, and individual lives."--BOOK JACKET.
