The Dynamics of Residential Treatment - A Social System Analysis (Paperback, New edition)

McAllister explores the work of William Brown, the free black founder of a series of theaters in the 1820s which featured African Americans playing a range of roles unprecedented on the American stage and that drew increasingly integrated audiences. McAllister also investigates the negative white reactions that led to Brown's retirement, as well as the legacy Brown left in American theater by shaping the careers of his performers and creating new genres of performance.
