Beautiful Blues People,
By vanessa richards (Brixton, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bluesprint: Black British Columbian Literature and Orature (Paperback)
This collection is not only beautiful but hugely significant in the marking of a totally unique Black Experience. Congratulations to Mr.Compton for bringing this to light! The history of the western most province in Canada is unusual in that it is one of very few places that does not, or rather, no longer, has a centralised black Community.A positive aspect of this is that it is not a ghettoised community. The difficult part is that one can have the sense that this still significant and growing community is permanently fractured. What Compton does so well is bring this unique history together.This beautiful blues people pioneering history appears alongside the children of hiphop now. One gets an overview that stretches and eases into that phat orange Pacific sunset. The book is an inspired Rocky Mountain solid collection of historical document and contemporary prose and poetry . Recline and read. |
