ABSTRACT

THE WORLD AS A CAN OPENER From: The Shifting Point: Forty Years of Theatrical Exploration, 1946-87 (London: Methuen, 1988).

IN THE MIDDLE OF AFRICA, I SCANDALIZED AN ANTHROPOLOGISTby suggesting that we all have an Africa inside us. I explained that this was based on my conviction that we are each only parts of a complete man: that the fully developed human being would contain what today is labelled African, Persian, or English.
