Grove Press, Inc., New York, 1965, first printing. Everett LeRoi Jones (1934 2014) was an American writer of poetry, drama, fiction, essays and music criticism. After the assassination of Malcolm X in 1965, he changed his name from LeRoi Jones to Amiri Baraka. In the African-American community, some compare Baraka to James Baldwin and recognize him as one of the most respected and most widely published black writers of his generation. Others have said his work is an expression of violence, misogyny, and homophobia. Regardless of viewpoint, Baraka's plays, poetry, and essays have been defining texts for African-American culture. His work is comprised mostly of poetry, drama and works on non-fiction. This book was his first of only 3 works classified as fiction. This book, 154 pages, is in near-fine condition in a very good, non-price clipped dust jacket, that is now in a protective mylar wrap.
