Black Aesthetics and the Interior Life

Více o knize

Focusing on African American literature and art, Christopher Freeburg's work challenges the notion that extreme racial violence erases personhood. He argues that individuals maintain the capacity to express and transform their ideas, which reshapes our understanding of black identity and its connection to collective political movements. By examining this interior life, Freeburg highlights a vital, often overlooked dimension of black experiences throughout the twentieth century, offering fresh insights into the resilience and agency of black artists.
