Amiri Baraka is unquestionably the most recognized leader of the
Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, and one of the key
literary and cultural figures of the postwar United States. While
Baraka's political and aesthetic stances changed considerably over
the course of his career, Brick City Vanguard demonstrates the
continuity in his thinking about the meaning of black music in the
material, psychic, and ideological development of black people.
Drawing on primary texts, paratexts (including album liner notes),
audio and visual recordings, and archival sources, James Smethurst
takes a new look at how 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. This vision
also provides a way of understanding the encounter of black people
with what has been called ""the urban crisis"" and a projection of
a liberated black future beyond that crisis.
