The contributions to "Critical Voices of Black Liberation in the
Americas" originated from the 1999 CAAR Conference in Munster and
from conferences held in the US in 2000 and 2001. More than half of
the eleven essays consider black performances on stage, in sound,
and on film; the remaining essays explore slavery, African American
literature, and nineteenth-century black educators. These exciting
essays creatively examine artistic and/or political articulation of
black liberation as the construction of a new critical and
signifyin(g) voice. This liberated and critical voice asserts
itself as much as a communal expression of black subjectivities as
it is an articulation of the black self.
Teachers of English literature, music and multicultural studies
will find this to be an invaluable source for supplementary reading
and writing lessons on personal narrative, history, drama and
poetry. Diverse methods of inspiring students to write through
readings of African American literaturefrom all over the
Americasinclude exercises using the poetry of Nobel laureate Derek
Wolcott, Aime Csare, Gwendolyn Brooks, James Baldwin, Rita Dove,
Bob Kaufman, Nikki Giovanni, and Langston Hughes. Exercises
stressing the musical influence on jazz and blues poetry, and the
resultant use of lyric poetic devices, also fortify this
collection. Included are student samples, a select bibliography,
and a brief discography.
