An advocate of Black Cultural Nationalism, Baraka supported the rejection of all things white and western. He helped found and direct the influential Black Arts movement which sought to move black writers away from western aesthetic sensibilities and toward a more complete embrace of the black world. Except perhaps for James Baldwin, no single figure has had more of an impact on black intellectual and artistic life during the last forty years.Politics and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansPolitics and governmentAfrican AmericansIntellectual lifeBlacksPolitics and governmentAfrican Americans in literatureBlacksIntellectual lifeBlacks in literaturePolitics and literatureHistoryAfrican AmericansPolitics and government.African AmericansIntellectual life.BlacksPolitics and government.African Americans in literature.BlacksIntellectual life.Blacks in literature.818/.5409Watts Jerry Gafio1599646MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827861403321Amiri Baraka3922400UNINA
