Mercy, Mercy Me - African American Culture and the American Sixties (Hardcover)

Using an interdisciplinary approach, Hall argues that American artistry in the Sixties can be understood as one of the most vital and compelling interrogations of modernity. Hall finds the legacy of slavery and the resistance to it have by necessity made African Americans among the most incisive critics and celebrants of the Enlightenment inheritance. Focusing on the work of six individuals - Robert Hayden, William Demby, Paule Marshall, John Coltrane, Romare Beardon, and E.B. DuBois - Mercy, Mercy Me seeks to recover an American tradition of evaluating the 'dialectic of the Enlightenment'.
