Clark and the Psychology of the Urban Crisis -- Be Even Blacker : Amiri Baraka's Names and Places -- Harlem without Walls : Romare Bearden's Realism -- Epilogue. 330 $aIn July 1964, after a decade of intense media focus on civil rights protest in the Jim Crow South, a riot in Harlem abruptly shifted attention to the urban crisis embroiling America's northern cities. On the Corner revisits the volatile moment when African American intellectuals were thrust into the spotlight as indigenous interpreters of black urban life to white America, and when black urban communities became the chief objects of black intellectuals' perceived social obligations. Daniel Matlin explores how the psychologist Kenneth B. Clark, the literary author and activist Amiri Baraka, and the visual artist Romare Bearden each wrestled with the opportunities and dilemmas of their heightened public stature. Amid an often fractious interdisciplinary debate, black intellectuals furnished sharply contrasting representations of black urban life and vied to establish their authority as indigenous interpreters. In time, however, Clark, Baraka, and Bearden each concluded that acting as interpreters for white America placed dangerous constraints on black intellectual practice. On the Corner reveals how the condition of entry into the public sphere for African American intellectuals in the post-civil rights era has been confinement to what Clark called "the topic that is reserved for blacks." 606 $aAfrican American intellectuals$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican American intellectuals$vBiography 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions$y1964-1975 606 $aInner cities$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aUrban policy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aHarlem (New York, N.Y.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 615 0$aAfrican American intellectuals$xHistory 615 0$aAfrican American intellectuals 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aInner cities$xHistory 615 0$aUrban policy$xHistory 676 $a305.896/073 700 $aMatlin$b Daniel$01637238 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814688003321 996 $aOn the corner$93978962 997 $aUNINA
