1.Dutchman and The Slave: Two PlaysDutchman and The Slave: Two Plays
from Harper Perennial
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:
LeRoi Jones, now known as Amiri Baraka, wrote Dutchman in 1964, but its themes of racism and fear still resonate today. A must for anyone studying African American literature and contemporary drama -- it is a seminal work. The Slave is less successful -- its message is muddled and the dialogue... more info

2.The LeRoi Jones Amiri Baraka ReaderThe LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka Reader
from Basic Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
I would not take anyone's word uncritically or unexamined about anything really important. Amiri Baraka is a flawed man. At times he has sounded anti-semitic and other times in his life he has sounded homophobic.
There is plenty in his life to contradict those seemingly mean spirited... more info

from Marsilio Publishers
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
Baraka's "Best Of..." collection is quite simply a must-read for any person with an interest in 20th century poetry. The words almost leap out against you when you open the book, and the language is mind-bending. Try to read these poems aloud to yourself, and you might just get the word-kick of a... more info

5.[no image]What the Wine-Sellers Buy Plus Three: Four Plays by Ron Milner (African American Life Series)
from Wayne State University Press
Price: $37.95

Customer Review:
Ron Milner is one of the great overlooked African-American writers of our time. Perhaps it is because he writes plays--something most people never take the time to read. I can only imagine how great these would be performed. Milner's works are largely didactic--I have read reviews that liken them to... more info

10.Shut Up Shut DownShut Up Shut Down
from Coffee House Press
Price: $12.80

Customer Review:
Mark Nowak's poetry will astonish you. His docu-poetics blasts through the tired, middle-brow, bourgeois, self-absorbed poetry that you didn't even know you needed an antidote to. If you're already an old or new lefty, read this and cry and rejoice. If you're a reader of poetry and need something... more info
