Summary:
This thesis examines the work of young black poets of the sixties--LeRoi Jones, Don L. Lee, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, and others-- who have played a significant role in the cultural revolution which has accompanied the contemporary black struggle for liberation. It establishes the framework of the black cultural revolution, and explores its rationale and the emerging new black aesthetic. It traces the roots and examines the themes and techniques of the poetry itself. Finally, the response of establishment critics to this poetry is examined along with the new black criticism which is developing as an adjunct to the new black aesthetic.
