This volume considers innovations, transitions, and traditions in
both familiar and unfamiliar texts and moments in 1960s African
American literature and culture. It interrogates declarations of
race, authenticity, personal and collective empowerment, political
action, and aesthetics within this key decade. It is divided into
three sections. The first section engages poetry and music as
pivotal cultural form in 1960s literary transitions. The second
section explains how literature, culture, and politics intersect to
offer a blueprint for revolution within and beyond the United
States. The final section addresses literary and cultural moments
that are lesser-known in the canon of African American literature
and culture. This book presents the 1960s as a unique commitment to
art, when 'Black' became a political identity, one in which racial
social justice became inseparable from aesthetic practice.
