Canticles I: (MMXVI) : (MMXVI) Paperback / softback
by George Elliott Clarke
Part of the Essential Poets series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Book I of The Canticles puts into dialogue -- as dramatic monologues -- those who fostered the transatlantic slave trade, or who demonized the image of the Negro in the Occident; as well as those who struggled for liberation and/or anti-racism.
In this work, Dante can critique Christopher Columbus and Frederick Douglass can upbraid Abraham Lincoln; Elizabeth Barrett Browning can muse on her African racial heritage and its implications for child-bearing, while Karl Marx can excoriate Queen Victoria.
Book II will focus on Black folk readings of Scripture, Hebrew and Greek, with a few other religious texts canvassed too.
Book III will narrate the rise of the African Baptist Association of Nova Scotia.
