After Mecca by Cheryl Clarke
Cheryl Clarke explores the relationship between the Black Arts Movement (BAM) and black women writers of the period, whose poems chart the emergence of a new and distinct black poetry and its relationship to the black community's struggle for rights and liberation.
This is the only book-length treatment of Black women poets of the Black Arts Movement, their contributions to the development of feminism and lesbian-feminism, and their impact on the poets who succeeded themClarke has the advantage of being an "insider" who witnessed part of the era she's analyzing. -- Beverly Guy-Sheftall * Spelman College, co-author of Gender Talk *
