"In essays, poems, short stories and plays, over seventy black writers, among whom are included Stokely Carmichael, Harold Cruse, A.B. Spellman, Sun-Ra, Ed Bullins, and the editors themselves, search for a definition of the black sensibility - the sensibility of a colonialized people waking up to the realities of the contemporary world. Never has there been a book so revealing of the black man's view of the world and of himself"--Jacket.
