Omschrijving
Drawing on primary texts, paratexts, audio and visual recordings, and archival sources, James Smethurst looks at how Amiri Baraka's writing on and performance of music envisioned the creation of an African American people or nation, as well as the growth and consolidation of a black working class within that nation, that resonates to this day.
“Once again, with Brick City Vanguard, James Smethurst proves that he is one of the leading scholars of the Black Arts Movement, of New Left literary studies, and of one of its emblematic writers, Amiri Baraka.”- Jean-Philippe Marcoux, cofounder of the Amiri Baraka Society and author of Jazz Griots: Music as History in the 1960s African American Poem;
“James Smethurst has read everything on Baraka and produced an original and important book. Brick City Vanguard is a major contribution to the field.”- William J. Harris, author of The Poetry and Poetics of Amiri Baraka: The Jazz Aesthetic;
“An illuminating work about a central figure in the Black Arts Movement.”- CHOICE.
James Smethurst is professor of Afro-American studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and author of The African American Roots of Modernism: From Reconstruction to the Harlem Renaissance.
