A first-printing anthology connecting modern Black African and Black American writing during the eras of decolonization and Black Power.
A conversation across Africa and the Black diaspora
William H. Robinson assembled essays, stories, novel excerpts, drama, and poetry by modern Black African and Black American writers in one substantial volume. The anthology places African decolonization, Black Power, cultural self-definition, and literary expression in conversation with one another.
Contributors represented in the volume include Julius Lester, H. Rap Brown, James Alan McPherson, Camara Laye, Iceberg Slim, Ed Bullins, LeRoi Jones, and Langston Hughes, among others.
The 1972 Macmillan first printing
This is the first printing of the 1972 Macmillan anthology, a large trade paperback extending to 501 pages. Its first-printing status and broad cultural range make it a strong document of the period, while the price remains grounded in the condition of this exact copy.
