Full Description

Arnab Ray studies the politics in Tony Kushner's political plays as a representation of the New Left politics that speak for marginalized groups.

Ray argues in that Kushner has both displayed the imminent ideological emptiness in the world as the millennium approaches its end, and written about the path toward salvaging the wreckage of human history to chart a new path for humankind in the new millennium. This book studies the complex and varied nuances of Kushner's political thought in what the author sees as Kushner's 'political' plays.
