5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic text of the civil rights-black power era!,
By kwoodard@mail.slc.edu, Komozi Woodard, author... (Bronxville, New York, Sarah Lawrence College) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home: Social Essays (Paperback)
Home is essential reading for any serious student of the 1960s, particularly the Black Revolt. Standing next to such classics as The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Soul on Ice, it is one of the best accounts of the Black search for identity and liberation. Here we see Baraka's political evolution. The essays are arranged chronologically, tracing his development from "Cuba Libre," an evocative account of his first experience with the Cuban Revolution, to his definition of the legacy of the fallen leader, Malcolm X. No study of the Black Revolt of the 1960s is complete without a reading of "Home," written by one of the founders of the Black Arts Movement.
