In this follow-up to his award-winning history of the movement nationally, James Smethurst investigates the origins, development, maturation, and decline of the vital but under-studied Black Arts movement in the South from the 1960s until the early 1980s"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Black Arts movement -- Southern States American literature -- African American authors -- History and criticism African Americans in literature.
