Home: Social Essays (Renegade Reprint Series) Paperback – January 1, 2009

He grew as many, many Black Intellectuals/radicals during the 60's, 70's and 80's grew. We flirted with an imagined intellectual coalition with White radicals, themselves grew. We Blacks split from White radicals when their radicalism centered on Vietnam. Baraka's writings record this split and our new focus. When he moves from The Village to Harlem and when he divorces his white wife, we see his narrowing focus. This is why reading HOME is essential reading Black (not Negro)

"Home" is an exceptional look at Mr Baraka's changing modes & ideas. One of the essays, "Hunting Is Not Those Heads on the Wall" is breathtaking in its originality

I have not read yet. Will provide update as soon as I do.

Home is essential reading for any serious student of the 1960s, particularly the Black Revolt. Standing next to such classics as The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Soul on Ice, it is one of the best accounts of the Black search for identity and liberation. Here we see Baraka's political evolution. The essays are arranged chronologically, tracing his development from "Cuba Libre," an evocative account of his first experience with the Cuban Revolution, to his definition of the legacy of the fallen leader, Malcolm X. No study of the Black Revolt of the 1960s is complete without a reading of "Home," written by one of the founders of the Black Arts Movement.
