The Black Arts Movement (BAM) encompassed a group of artists,
musicians, novelists, and playwrights, whose work combined
innovative approaches to literature, film, music, visual arts and
theatre. With a heightened consciousness of black agency and
autonomy-along with the radical politics of the Civil Rights
Movement, the Black Muslims and the Black Panthers-these figures
represented a collective effort to defy the status quo of American
life and culture. Between the late 1950s and the end of the 1970s,
the movement produced some of America's most original and
controversial artists and intellectuals. In The Encyclopedia of the
Blacks Arts Movement, Verner D. Mitchell and Cynthia Davis have
collected essays on the key figures of the movement including Maya
Angelou, James Baldwin, Amiri Baraka, Nikki Giovanni, Larry Neal,
Sun Ra, Sonia Sanchez, Ntozake Shange, and Archie Shepp. Additional
essays focus on Black Theatre magazine, the Negro Ensemble Company,
and lesser known individuals-including Kathleen Collins, Tom Dent,
Bill Gunn, June Jordan, and Barbara Ann Teer-and groups, such as
AfriCOBRA and the New York Umbra Poetry Workshop. Featuring essays
by contemporary scholars and rare photographs of BAM artists, The
Encyclopedia of the Blacks Arts Movement is an essential reference
for students and scholars of twentieth century American literature
and African-American cultural studies.
