Revolutionary Poetics: The Rhetoric of the Black Arts Movement by Sarah RudeWalker
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: 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.
