 | Step into a World: A Global Anthology of the New Black Literature Product# 460687926 Selling for $50 "Step Into A World 'Kevin Powell is pushing to bring, as he has so brilliantly done before, the voices of his generation: the concerns, the cares, the fears, and the fearlessness. Step into a World is a kaleidoscope into the world not bound by artificial constructs like nation. John Coltrane recorded ?ÇÿGiant Steps,?ÇÖ which is a riff on the sight and sounds in his muse. Powell plays the computer with equal astuteness.' ?ÇôNikki Giovanni 'Those of us who pay attention were aware that the younger generation of black writers was being smothered by the anointment of talented tenth Divas and Divuses, and their commercial accommodationist ?ÇÿFourth Renaissance. ?ÇÖThis anthology is indeed a breakthrough! It combines the boldness and daring of hip-hop with the intellectual keenness of a Michele Wallace or a Clyde Taylor.' ?ÇôIshmael Reed 'In a culture where videos, the Internet, and other high-tech communication is being consumed like the latest mind-altering drug, how does great literature grow and survive? These writers will answer that all-important question. This anthology provides a clue, a hint, as to where we might be going. They are resisting all this vacant, empty-minded nothingness. Read them. Listen to them. If you don?ÇÖt, you do so at your peril.' ?ÇôQuincy Troupe" |
 | 'Who Set You Flowin'?'; The African-American Migration Narrative Product# 460768260 Selling for $27.5 "Twentieth-century America has witnessed the most widespread and sustained movement of African-Americans from the South to urban centers in the North. Griffin looks at this migration across a wide range of genres--the literary texts of Richard Wright and Dorothy West, the paintings of Jacob Lawrence, and the music of Billie Holiday and Arrested Development, as well as photography and correspondence. She identifies the Migration Narrative as a major theme in African-American cultural production, and argues that a dominant portrayal of migration is produced by its historical and political moment." |
