7. Baraka IMAMU AMIRI BARAKA (LEROI JONES). from EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE. Speech, the way one describes the natural proposition of being alive, is much more crucial than http://www.poetspath.com/transmissions/messages/baraka.html

IMAMU AMIRI BARAKA (LEROI JONES) from EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGE The social hegemony, one’s position in society, enforces more specifically one’s terms (even the vulgar have "pull"). Even to the mode of speech. But also it makes these terms an available explanation of any social hierarchy, so that the words themselves become, even informally, laws. And of course they are usually very quickly stitched together to make formal statutes only fools or the faithfully intrepid would dare to question beyond immediate necessity. The culture of the powerful is very infectious for the sophisticated, and strongly addictive. To be any kind of "success" one must be fluent in this culture. Know the words of the users, the semantic rituals of power. This is a way into wherever it is you are not now, but wish, very desperately, to get into. Even speech then signals a fluency in this culture. A knowledge at least. "He’s an educated man," is the barest acknowledgment of such fluency in any time. "He’s hip," my friends might say. They connote a similar entrance. And it follows, of course, that slavery would have been an even stranger phenomenon had the Africans spoken English when they first got here. It would have complicated things. Very soon after the first generations of Afro-Americans mastered this language, they invented white people called Abolitionists.

8. Shark Blog: Earth Calling Amiri Baraka Imamu Amiri Baraka should be looked upon as a man who is attempting to shed a ray of intelligence on an incredibly ignorant country. http://www.usefulwork.com/shark/archives/000227.html

Shark Blog Current Events, Smarter Investing and Fatherhood Main September 28, 2002 Earth calling Amiri Baraka I just had a brief telephone conversation with New Jersey poet laureate Amiri Baraka Baraka made a fool of himself in public last week when he recited a poem titled "Somebody Blew Up America," in which he said Who knew the World Trade Center was gonna get bombed Who told 4000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers To stay home that day Why did Sharon stay away? Baraka has refused New Jersey governor James McGreevey's demand that Baraka resign as poet laureate and the governor does not have the legal means to force the resignation. So I looked up Baraka's phone number and called him to ask where he got the information that 4000 Israeli workers were told to stay home last September 11. I reached him at his home in Newark shortly after 8pm Eastern Time today. Based on the jazz that was playing in the background, I can report that at least he has good taste in music. I mentioned that I heard about the recent controversy and asked him where he got his information from. He was largely incoherent, but said that he got it off the Internet from the Israeli web sites "Yadiot" [his spelling] "Haaretz" and "Shabak". Shabak is the Hebrew acronym for the security agency which is generally known in English as "Shin Bet", and if they even have a public website, it is not called "Shabak". What he calls "Yadiot" would most likely be daily newspaper "Yediot Aharonot", whose

Baraka served in the military for three years before settling in Greenwich Village in New York, at the heart of the Beat scene.

Baraka then grew in notority when he won the Obie, awarded by the Village Voice newspaper, an off-Broadway award, for his play, Dutchman With his new found reputation, Baraka opened the Black Arts Repertory Theatre/School (BART/S) in 1964. The BART/S became one of the most influential theatre/schools within the BAM and brought music, art, poetry and drama to the street corners of Harlem. It was during this time that Baraka began to distance himself from the white culture. When Malcom X was assasinated in 1965, and after the closing of the BART/S, Baraka picked up and moved to Harlem, divorced his white wife, changed his name and adapted a Black nationalist view. Baraka then married Amina Baraka, formerly known as Sylvia Robinson, and founded

Imamu Amiri Baraka An exhibition from the Collections of The John Hay Library Brown University March - April 2000 Catalog of the Exhibtion and Checklist of works by Imamu Amiri Baraka in the collections of Brown University Library The Beat Period: Transitional Period: Black Nationalist Period: Third World Marxist ... Media Introduction "Poet, dramatist, essayist, and critic, Amiri Baraka (formerly Le Roi Jones) is a major contemporary author. As both theorist and practitioner he was the central figure. . . of the 1960s' Black Arts Movement, a literary movement dedicated to racially focused art. . . In addition to being a prime influence on other poets and dramatists of his time, Baraka has also created an original body of work that belongs in the forefront of innovative avant-garde writing, regardless of ethnic background." ³Yet Baraka is not only a major author, but he is also an exceedingly controversial one. He is one of those mavericks, who, like Allen Ginsberg and Norman Mailer, have produced large bodies of work that are extremely critical of American Civilization. . . in fact, Baraka may be the most difficult American author to evaluate dispassionately since the modernist poet Ezra Pound, another writer whose work still evokes volatile critical response." Baraka's career has been divided, by his editor William J. Harris, into four periods, and that organization has guided this exhibition. During his
