Baraka's acclaimed dramas The Slave and Dutchman are presented along with more recent unpublished plays, a chapter from the early novel The System of Dante's Hell, and important essays from Blues People, Home, and Black Music
This book is a great introduction to the great Baraka. It should be accompanied by 'Selected Poems'. If you want to better understand the American experience from a certain point of view, Baraka is a must read. Highly recommend it!
