The Romare Bearden Reader brings together a collection of new
essays and canonical writings by novelists, poets, historians,
critics, and playwrights. The contributors, who include Toni
Morrison, Ralph Ellison, August Wilson, Farah Jasmine Griffin, and
Kobena Mercer, contextualize Bearden's life and career within the
history of modern art, examine the influence of jazz and literature
on his work, trace his impact on twentieth-century African American
culture, and outline his art's political dimensions. Others focus
on specific pieces, such as A Black Odyssey, or the ways in which
Bearden used collage to understand African American identity. The
Reader also includes Bearden's most important writings, which grant
readers insight into his aesthetic values and practices and share
his desire to tell what it means to be black in America. Put
simply, The Romare Bearden Reader is an indispensable volume on one
of the giants of twentieth-century American art. Contributors.
