Title: Black nationalism in the new world
Description: Black Nationalism in the New World combines geography, political economy, and subaltern studies in readings of noncanonical literary works, which in turn illuminate debates over African-American and West Indian culture, identity, and politics. In addition to Martin Delany's Blake; or The Huts of America, Carr focuses on Crown Jewel, R. A. C. de Boissière's novel of the Trinidadian revolt against British rule; Pauline Hopkins's Contending Forces; Wilson Harris's Guyana Quartet; the writings of the Oakland Black Panthers-- particularly Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, and Eldridge Cleaver; the gay novella Just Being Guys Together; and Lionheart Gal, a collection of patois testimonials assembled by Sistren, a radical Jamaican women's theater group active in the 1980s.
