Description

Product Description This volume considers innovations, transitions, and traditions in both familiar and unfamiliar texts and moments in 1960s African American literature and culture. It interrogates declarations of race, authenticity, personal and collective empowerment, political action, and aesthetics within this key decade. It is divided into three sections. The first section engages poetry and music as pivotal cultural form in 1960s literary transitions. The second section explains how literature, culture, and politics intersect to offer a blueprint for revolution within and beyond the United States. The final section addresses literary and cultural moments that are lesser-known in the canon of African American literature and culture. This book presents the 1960s as a unique commitment to art, when 'Black' became a political identity, one in which racial social justice became inseparable from aesthetic practice. Book Description Interrogates and explains 1960s writers and artists popular embrace of blackness as a source of power, as it confronts racism. About the Author Shelly Eversley teaches literature, feminism, and black studies at Baruch College, City University of New York, where she is Chair of the Black and Latinx Studies Department. Her research and publishing specializes in African American literature and culture as well as in feminist studies, and she is Founder of equalityarchive.com.
