With a poets precision and an intellectually adventurous spirit, Elizabeth Alexander explores a wide spectrum of contemporary African American artistic life through literature, paintings, popular media, and films, and discusses its place in current culture. In The Black Interior, she examines the vital roles of such heavyweight literary figures as Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, and Rita Dove, as well as lesser known, yet vibrant, new creative voices. She offers a reconsideration of afrooutr painter JeanMichel Basquiat, the concept of racepride in Jet magazine, and her take on Denzel Washingtons career as a complex black male icon in a postaffirmative action era. Also available is Alexanders much heralded essay on Rodney King, Emmett Till, and the collective memory of racial violence.Alexander, who has been a professor at the University of Chicago and Smith College, and recently at Yale University, has taught and lectured on African American art and culture across the country and abroad for nearly two decades. In The Black Interior, she directs her scrupulous poets eye to the urgent cultural issues of the day. This lively collection is a crucial volume for understanding current thinking on race, art, and culture in America.

Interesting but Uneven
This collection has some brilliant essays, but a few felt a bit scattered. The themes are powerful, but I wished for more consistency throughout the book. Still, a solid read for anyone looking to explore these topics.

Beautifully Written, But
While the essays are beautifully written and thought-provoking, I felt some of the points were repetitive. The author's voice is strong, but I expected more variety in topics. Still worth picking up if you're into essays about identity.
