Publisher's Synopsis
A collection of commentaries and biographies featuring a distinguished group of black theorists, writers and influential social revolutionaries including seminal figures such as Bernie Grant and Kwame Toure. Cultural studies, poetry and political activism are represented by the likes of Stuart Hall and Gwendolyn Brooks, and the graceful yet revolutionary voices of Assata Shakur are set alongside the promotion of creative dissidence as espoused by Nawal-al El Saadawi. Black Routes is a celebration of these principled individuals' commitment to rejecting oppression.
