In this follow-up to his award-winning history of the movement nationally, James Smethurst investigates the origins, development, maturation, and decline of the vital but under-studied Black Arts movement in the South from the 1960s until the early 1980s"--Provided by publisher.The John Hope Franklin Series in African American History and CultureBlack Arts movementSouthern StatesAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismAfrican Americans in literatureBlack nationalism in literatureBlack nationalismSouthern StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansSouthern StatesIntellectual life20th centuryBlack Arts movementAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticism.African Americans in literature.Black nationalism in literature.Black nationalismHistoryAfrican AmericansIntellectual life810.9896073810.9896073Smethurst James Edward1790918MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9911046717203321Behold the land4468226UNINA
