Amiri Baraka (1934-2014) – dramatist, poet, essayist, orator, and fiction writer – is one of the preeminent African-American literary figures of our time. Baraka's work, no matter the format, is critical, confrontational, and incendiary, always driven to awaken its audience to the political concerns of black Americans.
The Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka Reader provides the most comprehensive selection of Baraka’s work to date, spanning almost 40 years of a brilliant, prolific, and controversial career, in which he has produced more than 12 books of poetry, 26 plays, eight collections of essays and speeches, and two books of fiction. This updated edition contains over 50 pages of previously unpublished work, as well as a chronology and full bibliography.
