ITEM OVERVIEW
Black Fire, first published in 1968, is a seminal literary resource from the Black Arts Movement, the "aesthetic and spiritual sister" of the Black Power Movement. Editors and contributors Amiri Baraka and Larry Neal, saw Black Fire as a manifesto to bring about change in Black thought and action, generated from a Black aesthetic. This rich anthology (and an extraordinary source document) compiled 178 selections of poetry, essays, short stories and plays from more than 75 cultural and political leaders, including John Henrik Clarke, Sonia Sanchez, A B Spellman, Harold Cruse, Gaston Neal, Stanley Crouch, Sun Ra, Kuwasi Balagoon and Kwame Ture in this revolutionary anthology. Includes a new Introduction by Baraka.
