| 520 | 3 | |a Across a turbulent history, Black poets created a rich and multifaceted tradition that has been both a reckoning with American realities and an imaginative response to them. One of the great American art forms, African American poetry encompasses many kinds of verse: formal, experimental, vernacular, lyric, and protest. The anthology opens with moving testaments to the power of poetry as a means of self-assertion, as enslaved people voice their passionate resistance to slavery. This volume captures the power and beauty of this diverse tradition and its challenge to American poetry and culture. The volume also features biographies of each poet and notes that illuminate cultural references and allusions to historical events. -- adapted from jacket | |

One of the great American art forms, African American poetry encompasses many kinds of verse: formal, experimental, vernacular, lyric, and protest. The anthology opens with moving testaments to the power of poetry as a means of self-assertion, as enslaved people voice their passionate resistance to slavery. This volume captures the power and beauty of this diverse tradition and its challenge to American poetry and culture. The volume also features biographies of each poet and notes that illuminate cultural references and allusions to historical events. -- adapted from jacket</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Schwarze</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4116433-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Lyrik</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4036774-5</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">American poetry / African American authors</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Social problems / Poetry</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">American poetry / African American authors</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Social problems</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Poetry</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Poetry</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4002214-6</subfield><subfield code="a">Anthologie</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd-content</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">USA</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4078704-7</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Schwarze</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4116433-7</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Lyrik</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4036774-5</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Young, Kevin</subfield><subfield code="d">1970-</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)1037702417</subfield><subfield code="4">edt</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">The library of America</subfield><subfield code="v">333</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-604)BV000009606</subfield><subfield code="9">333</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032410822&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="943" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">oai:aleph.bib-bvb.de:BVB01-032410822</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |
