Description:

The 1960s was a period when many "revolutionary" BlackAmericans, artists, dramatists, writers, critics and philosophers engaged in intense debates over the role of the artist in the making of a cultural revolution, and over what constitutes a "genuine" or "true" black aesthetic. The Black ArMovement explicitly targeted a number of long-standing assumptions of literary critics and historians; in particular, the role of the text, the timelessness of art, the responsibility of artists to their communities, and the significance of oral forms in cultural struggles. 3 CREDIT S
