| Description: |
In the introduction, the author writes, "Somewhere near the heart of the work is a search for meaning, an attempt to apprehend and share with others my own tentative grasp of the harrowing and terrifying beauty of my people's pilgrimage in this strangely promised land…In the land of our captivity, subject to a host of attempts at dehumanization and humiliation, how and why did we become the nation's foremost champions of human freedom and social justice, creators of many of its most native rhythms of life? And what now is our future, and this nation's destiny, if those costly, creative black visions of hope, long nurtured in the fires of persecution, should be broken and bastardized -- or meanly forgotten -- in a ruthless and unprincipled process of Americanization?" |
