A disproportionate number of male writers, including such figures
as Amiri Baraka, Larry Neal, Maulana Karenga, and Haki Madhubuti,
continue to be credited for constructing the iconic and ideological
foundations for what would be perpetuated as the Black Art
Movement. Though there has arisen an increasing amount of
scholarship that recognizes leading women artists, activists, and
leaders of this period, these new perspectives have yet to
recognize adequately the ways women aspired to far more than a mere
dismantling of male-oriented ideals. In Visionary Women Writers of
Chicago's Black Arts Movement, Carmen L. Phelps examines the work
of several women artists working in Chicago, a key focal point for
the energy and production of the movement. Angela Jackson, Johari
Amini, and Carolyn Rodgers reflect in their writing specific
cultural, local, and regional insights, and demonstrate the
capaciousness of Black Art rather than its constraints. Expanding
from these three writers, Phelps analyzes the breadth of women's
writing in the BAM. In doing so, Phelps argues that these and other
women attained advantageous and unique positions to represent the
potential of the BAM aesthetic, even if their experiences and
artistic perspectives were informed by both social conventions and
constraints. In this book, Phelps's examination brings forward a
powerful and crucial contribution to the aesthetics and history of
a movement that still inspires.
