A 2008 cover of The New Yorker featured a much-discussed Black
Power parody of Michelle and Barack Obama. The image put a
spotlight on how easy it is to flatten the Black Power movement as
we imagine new types of blackness. Margo Natalie Crawford argues
that we have misread the Black Arts Movement's call for blackness.
We have failed to see the movement's anticipation of the "new
black" and "post-black." Black Post-Blackness compares the black
avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s Black Arts Movement with the
most innovative spins of twenty-first century black aesthetics.
Crawford zooms in on the 1970s second wave of the Black Arts
Movement and shows the connections between this final wave of the
Black Arts movement and the early years of twenty-first century
black aesthetics. She uncovers the circle of black post-blackness
that pivots on the power of anticipation, abstraction, mixed media,
the global South, satire, public interiority, and the fantastic.
