a rites of passage ceremony where an animal is sacrificed to represent him leaving or entering a new world. The text mentions how movement from one room to another is considered a territorial passage. (p.192) This makes me think about when my family went on a San Diego brewery tour where we were driven to a string of breweries.

The partition of Africa became one of the most prominent preoccupations of modern Europeans. Furthermore, several of the major countries at war between 1914 and 1918 possessed large colonial empires, where white Europeans ruled over Africans, Asians, and Pacific Islanders. Until recently, historians rarely mentioned

The War of 1812 had many tremendous battles that featured the newly formed American Army verse the well-established British forces.

I found a copy of the show on IUcat, and that performance really stuck out to me because it modernized the characters from their original rendering. I liked reading this play, but actually seeing it performed helped me understand some of the intent behind the
