Blue Spots

This play was performed during what is called the period of 3rd wave feminism, in the 1990’s. A movement for conscious awareness of colored women advanced geopolitical ideals about colonial power and gender relations. Because of this time frame, this play is an experimental postmodern text that easily expressed feminine beauty through various characters. Third wave feminism is all about performance and appearance of an equal gendered power political structure.

So how does colonial power restructure gender relations? My interpretation is that colonialism as a whole took part in the framework for a new representation of women in history. Traditional female roles have been constructed as domestic and supporting. The rise of feminism and post-modern social and political integrations has evolved women to become a larger contribution to African history.
