1 Amiri Baraka Early life 1934–1965

Conclusion

• 
  Divided into a series of short but pertinent studies of individual works, the volume often trades breadth for long-winded analyses, with satisfying results. Chapters 1 and 2 offer interesting overviews of Baraka’s aesthetic and political complexity. The last chapter is a study of the controversial poem “Somebody Blew Up America,” followed by an interview with Baraka about the poem. A very fine introduction to Baraka, especially for students.

  Sollors, Werner. Amiri Baraka/ LeRoi Jones: The Quest for a “Populist Modernism.” New York: Columbia University Press, 1978.
  

Combination of aesthetic and militant preoccupations that probes Baraka’s relentless pursuit of art capable of affirming both populism and modernism on African American terms. Composed of ten chapters that engage every genre Baraka tackled, the work offers some provocative perspectives on Baraka’s reinvestment of black nationalist philosophies in his art. A key document for any serious student and scholar of Baraka.

  Watts, Jerry G. Amiri Baraka: The Politics and Art of a Black Intellectual. New York: New York University Press, 2001.
  

Long, often confusing look at Baraka that appears to be stemming more from personal bias than critical interest, as the preface reveals. Watts’s readings of works are at times groundbreaking, but at other times lacking in substance. The section on the Pan-African and Third World Marxist phase of Baraka’s career illustrates this methodological imbalance. Impressive in scope, but debatable in terms of critical significance.
