Black Nationalism and African-American Music
Johnson, David
Black Books Bulletin, 5, 1, 14-19, Spr 77
Concludes that "A preoccupation with freedom seems to be a characteristic of black nationalists. Black musicians occupy positions in the music industry that are at best insecure. Consequently their political beliefs are never fully enunciated." Until society is radically changed, "the black nationalist musician will play a vital role in response to the creators of this racist and exploitative society." (Author/JM)
