In Revolutionary Poetics, Sarah RudeWalker details the specific
ways that the Black Arts Movement (BAM) achieved its revolutionary
goals through rhetorical poetics-in what forms, to what audiences,
and to what effect. BAM has had far-reaching influence,
particularly in developments in positive conceptions of Blackness,
in the valorization of Black language practices and its subsequent
effects on educational policy, in establishing a legacy of populist
dissemination of African American vernacular culture, and in
setting the groundwork for important considerations of the
aesthetic intersections of race with gender and sexuality. These
legacies stand as the movement's primary-and largely
unacknowledged-successes, and they provide significant lessons for
navigating our current political moment. RudeWalker presents
rhetorical readings of the work of BAM poets (including, among
others, Amiri Baraka, Gwendolyn Brooks, Margaret Burroughs, Sarah
Webster Fabio, Nikki Giovanni, Etheridge Knight, Audre Lorde, Haki
Madhubuti, Carolyn Rodgers, Sonia Sanchez, and the Last Poets) in
order to demonstrate the various strands of rhetorical influence
that contributed to the Black Arts project and the significant
legacies these writers left behind. Her investigation of the
rhetorical impact of Black Arts poetry allows her to deal
realistically with the movement's problematic aspects, while still
devoting thoughtful scholarly attention to the successful legacy of
BAM writers and the ways their work can continue to shape
contemporary rhetorical activism.
