The outpouring of creative expression known as the Black Arts
Movement of the 1960s and 1970s spawned a burgeoning number of
black-owned cultural outlets, including publishing houses,
performance spaces, and galleries. Central to the movement were its
poets, who in concert with editors, visual artists, critics, and
fellow writers published a wide range of black verse and advanced
new theories and critical approaches for understanding African
American literary art. The Black Arts Enterprise and the Production
of African American Poetry offers a close examination of the
literary culture in which BAM's poets (including Amiri Baraka,
Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Larry Neal, Haki Madhubuti, Carolyn
Rodgers, and others) operated and of the small presses and literary
anthologies that first published the movement's authors. The book
also describes the role of the Black Arts Movement in reintroducing
readers to poets such as Langston Hughes, Robert Hayden, Margaret
Walker, and Phillis Wheatley. Focusing on the material production
of Black Arts poetry, the book combines genetic criticism with
cultural history to shed new light on the period, its publishing
culture, and the writing and editing practices of its participants.
Howard Rambsy II demonstrates how significant circulation and
format of black poetic texts-not simply their content-were to the
formation of an artistic movement. The book goes on to examine
other significant influences on the formation of Black Arts
discourse, including such factors as an emerging nationalist
ideology and figures such as John Coltrane and Malcolm X.
