Now available in paperback, this ambitious book juxtaposes two of the most fertile periods of African American culture, the 1920's and the 1960's; it includes essays on Jean Toomer, Countee Cullen, Amiri Baraka, Larry Neal, and Hoyt Fuller. This is also Baker's most personal book, tracing his beginnings as a scholar of Victorian literature, his 'second birth' as he began teaching African American Literature, and his visions and revisions of a black aesthetic.
