Walker, Joseph A. | Introduction
Walker, Joseph A. 1935–
Walker, a black American dramatist, is best known for The River Niger, which was awarded a 1973 Obie. The play depicts the violence of black ghetto life and insightfully comments on familial relationships. Although critics praise the exuberance of his work, they also find that abundance of theme and detail tend to blur his focus. (See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 89-92.)
