Product Description
From Library Journal
Watts (African American studies, Trinity Univ.) has expanded part of his doctoral dissertation into a complex, probing analysis of Ellison's political philosophy. He argues that the noted black author saw himself as an artist, not as a political activist. He believed that his art, by emphasizing the complexity of African American life and highlighting the positive value of overcoming suffering, would make a contribution to the overall Civil Rights movement. As Watts sums up this view: "Writers write. Fighters fight." The author sees this stance as only partially successful and perhaps insulting to victims of white racism. Because of its difficulty, this work is recommended only for academic libraries and specialists.
