A study of postmodernism and African-American poets.
"Aldon Nielsen's Black Chant: Languages of African-American Postmodernism provides a fine combination of advocacy and intense, careful research...Nielsen's book should serve as an important polemical warning and as equally important evidence for the significant bodies of poetry that are being neglected today." Contemporary Literature
"...the first major book to present a compelling argument fokr a black postmodernist poetics, one that will surely gain prominence..." John Grey, American Literature
"WIthout doubt, Nielsen's study has to be considered a significant re-mapping of the history of African-American poetry in the context of music and performance." Wilfried Raussert, American Studies
"...the author offers contemporary readers and students alike a grand opportunity to capture in one book, a profound examination of modern currents in black poetry in America." Julie E. Thompsom, American Studies
