In settings ranging from seventeenth-century France (\u003ci\u003eLas Meninas\u003c\/i\u003e) to twenty-first century conflicts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ruined) and at a Pennsylvania factory (\u003ci\u003eSweat\u003c\/i\u003e), she creatively foregrounds explorations of race, gender, and class. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding Lynn Nottage\u003c\/i\u003e, Jennifer L. Hayes presents an accessible overview of Nottage's body of work to date, connecting her to other Black female playwrights and situating her in the African American literary tradition.
