Black Aesthetics and the Interior Life

Více o knize

Focusing on the intersection of individual identity and collective experience, this work explores a neglected dimension of African American literature and art throughout the twentieth century. Freeburg challenges the notion that extreme racial violence strips individuals of their personhood, arguing instead that black artists convey the enduring capacity for personal expression and transformation. This perspective reshapes our understanding of the connection between black interior life and broader political movements, offering fresh insights into the complexities of identity and agency.
