This prose-poem styled memoir of poet, novelist, playwright and black activist delineates the politics and the personal drama of the man who has dared face injustice with violence and flaunted his pride in black chauvinism. Chronicling the first forty years of his life, the book tells how Jones/Baraka comes into being from his middle-class roots in Newark, and how his journey through Howard University, the Air Force, beat Greenwich Village, incendiary Harlem, polemic Newark and the caverns of his own heart dictated his reaction to a racist society and etched the nuances of his soul. His testimony is an unreplicable view of the recent struggles of black Americans and the society which they have confronted. ISBN 0-88191-000-7 : $16.95.

For almost half a century, Amiri Baraka has ranked among the most important commentators on African American music and culture. In this brilliant assemblage of his writings on music, the first such collection in nearly twenty years, Baraka blends autobiography, history, musical analysis, and political commentary to recall the sounds, people, times, and places he's encountered. As in his earlier classics, Blues People and Black Music, Baraka offers essays on the famous—Max Roach, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane—and on those whose names are known mainly by jazz aficionados—Alan Shorter, Jon Jang, and Malachi Thompson. Baraka's literary style, with its deep roots in poetry, makes palpable his love and respect for his jazz musician friends. His energy and enthusiasm show us again how much Coltrane, Albert Ayler, and the others he lovingly considers mattered. He brings home to us how music itself matters, and how musicians carry and extend that knowledge from generation to generation, providing us, their listeners, with a sense of meaning and belonging.

A maioria dos críticos de jazz até agora são americanos brancos, enquanto os principais músicos não Black Music: free jazz e consciência negra (1959-1967), de Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), é um dos exercícios mais radicais e selvagens de crítica musical que já foi posto em prática. Nestes ensaios, resenhas, entrevistas, encartes, crônicas e impressões pessoais publicados entre 1959 e 1967, Baraka retrata a florescente cena do free jazz, um movimento que envolveu o aprofundamento das inovações sonoras do bebop e a recuperação do jazz como expressão autêntica da cultura afro-estadunidense em uma época em que seu sucesso comercial a tornava um gênero padronizado e palatável para a amérikkka branca. Figura central e unificadora do movimento Beat nos anos 50 e Black Power nas décadas seguintes, Amiri lança mão de uma linguagem elétrica e furiosa que reflete a liberdade de improvisação do free jazz para deixar claro que essa música só pode ser compreendida como parte de um conjunto de experiências, que ao longo do século XX, moldaram uma nova consciência do que significava ser negro nos Estados Unidos. E é por isso que os seus intérpretes, entre os quais se destacam John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Archie Shepp, Sun Ra, Thelonious Monk, Albert Ayler, Pharoah Sanders, Sonny Rollins, Don Cherry, Wayne Shorter e Cecil Taylor, devem ser considerados, além de grandes músicos: "intelectuais ou místicos, ou ambos".

"Written between 1960 and 1965, Home documents a critical time in American history as well as a crucial stage in the development of one of the most influential writers, activists, and intellects of the era. These essays range from short, impressionistic pieces on urban life and culture to longer political statements on the Cuban revolution, black sexuality, and the artist's role as a force for social change. But more than a collection of occasional pieces, Home is truly an ideological autobiography." "Fiercely opinionated and fearlessly expressive, the voice of LeRoi Jones carries with force across the decades. At a time when passionate discussions of racial politics are erupting in the classroom and the courtroom, this edition with a new preface by the author offers us a chance to reexamine the lessons learned over thirty years ago."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Essays of the 1960s by a prominent African American voice who “demands rights—not conditional favors” (The New York Times Book Review). Amiri Baraka, also known as LeRoi Jones, was known not only as a poet, playwright, and founder of the Black Arts movement, but also as one of the most provocative voices of the civil rights era and beyond. These pieces, which span the years from 1960 to 1965, cover subjects ranging from Cuba to Malcolm X to street protests and soul food, and are accompanied by the author’s new introduction from 2009.

“A thoughtful, intimate memoir of life in the burgeoning movement of new jazz, poetry, and politics . . . in Lower Manhattan in the late 1950s and early 1960s” (Alix Kate Shulman, The Nation). Greenwich Village in the 1950s was a haven to which young poets, painters, and musicians flocked. Among them was Hettie Cohen, who’d been born into a middle-class Jewish family in Queens and who’d chosen to cross racial barriers to marry African American poet LeRoi Jones. This is her reminiscence of life in the awakening East Village in the era of the Beats, Black Power, and bohemia. “As the wife of controversial black playwright-poet LeRoi Jones (now Amiri Baraka), Hettie Cohen, a white Jew from Queens, NY, plunged into the Greenwich Village bohemia of jazz, poetry, leftish politics and underground publishing in the late 1950s. Their life together ended in 1965, partly, she implies, because of separatist pressures on blacks to end their interracial marriages. In this restrained autobiographical mix of introspection and gossip, the author writes of coping with racial prejudice and violence, raising two daughters, and of living in the shadow of her husband. When the couple divorced, she became a children’s book author and poet. The memoir is dotted with glimpses of Allen Ginsberg, Thelonious Monk, Jack Kerouac, Frank O’Hara, Billie Holiday, James Baldwin, Franz Kline, among others.” —Publishers Weekly
