LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka Reader
A substantial selection from Baraka's restless career, published by Basic Books and covering poetry, plays, essays, and fiction across nearly forty years. The reader follows the writer from the downtown jazz-and-poetry scene of the early 1960s through the Black Arts Movement and into the political essays of later decades. The book is unavoidably chronological, which makes the shifts in style and ideology feel like evidence rather than inconsistency. Basic's edition is plain and capacious.For readers who want to trace how one American writer kept rewriting himself in public.
