- Title
Amiri Baraka: A Lifetime of Saying the Unsayable.
- Authors
Keleta-Mae, Naila
- Abstract
Through the analysis of three poems written at distinct moments in his prolific fifty-year career, this article argues that a central legacy of the work of Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones) is the creation of art and scholarship that publicly critiques and provokes the status quo--time and time again, Baraka said the unsayable.
