August Wilson and Suzan-Lori Parks are both Pulitzer-Prize winning black playwrights recognized by the--largely white--literary mainstream. Wilson and Parks, though both successful, differ with respect to the aesthetics of their plays, specifically in the ways their works reflect a black experience. In three of Wilson's works, Fences, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, and The Piano Lesson, the pre-dominant black experience for the characters is their relationship to the presence of whiteness. That relationship is indicated through the oppression of the black characters by white society and the resulting conflict with the lives they currently lead and the lives that they aspire to have. This oppression connects Wilson's work to an old black aesthetic rooted in slave narratives and other time periods when the documentation of oppression was necessary in order to fully document the freedoms that blacks wanted but were denied. Wilson is forced to deal with these issues because, throughout his 10-play cycle chronicling the black experience throughout the twentieth century, he must be truthful to how black people would have been treated during these times. However, with the changing times, blacks have gradually been granted the freedoms they were previously denied. Therefore aspects of the Old Black Aesthetic do not really apply anymore and a new aesthetic is needed. This New Black Aesthetic has been articulated most fully in an essay written by Trey Ellis and two plays written by Suzan-Lori Parks: The America Play and Topdog/Underdog. These plays reflect on Parks' attempt to move past the white-black conflict with which the Old Black Aesthetic and Wilson are concerned and endeavor to place black people in situations that do not focus on oppression. Parks is able to place black people in these new situations because unlike Wilson, she is not confined to a specific historical period. Her characters exist outside of time, forcing blacks to relate to each other as opposed to whites.

The Black Aesthetic Season II is composed of critical essays and projects in response to the second season of The Black Aesthetic Film Series based out of Oakland, CA and put on by The Black Aesthetic Collective, which showcased films made by independent Black filmmakers. It contains work that contributes to a larger conversation that attempts to define and demarcate boundaries around "Black" aesthetics while also positioning the diasporic diversity of Black cultural production and aesthetics as a self contained and self-referential global body of work. - Wolfman Books

Aesthetics of Black Arts Movement: A Study of the Plays of Amiri Baraka, Ed Bullins and Larry Neal focuses comprehensively on the African- American Drama of 60s in general and the Black Arts Movement in specific. It is a research based writing examining the plays of the three distinct Black American playwrights like Amiri Baraka, Ed Bullins, and Larry Neal in the light of the aesthetic analysis of the distinctive features of Black Arts Movement as propagated in the 60s in the so called time of the Second Black Renaissance. The sum and substance of the plays of the playwrights carry out strong messages of the socio-cultural, political, artistic and intellectual awakening of the African- Americans trying to establish their American identity along with African cultural consciousness. Thus, these playwrights emerge as the experimentalists with a view to bringing about social reform in artistic ways ranging from revolutionary and agit-prop plays to street theater and then shifting onto off broad way. The book is useful for reference at postgraduate level dealing with the language and literature of Black drama as well as for the researches in the field of leftist and existential plays.

Black Aesthetics in African Drama discusses the theatrical links that connect two literary traditions on both sides of the Atlantic divide (African and African-American literatures). With the illustrations from the plays of Femi Osofisan (Nigerian) and those of Amiri Baraka (African-American), the work argues that both authors explore the indigenous folklores of African communities, at relative socio-cultural temperament, as the basis for their dramatic moods. Revealing and insightful, the book is a resourceful documentation of the rich cultural fabrics of Africa which is extended, through cultural migration, to the Diaspora. It proves that African nostalgic temperament is an influential dramatic feature across the Atlantic divide
