Rediscover the most important book on blackwhite relationships in America in a special 50th anniversary edition introduced by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (Walker Percy)The United States is in actuality not a nation of black people and white people. It is a nation of multicolored people . . . Any fool can see that the white people are not really white, and that black people are not black. They are all interrelated one way or another.These words, written by Albert Murray at the height of the Black Power movement, cut against the grain of their moment, and announced the arrival of a major new force in American letters. In his 1970 classic The OmniAmericans, Murray took aim at protest writers and social scientists who accentuated the pathology of race in American life. Against narratives of marginalization and victimhood, Murray argued that black art and culture, particularly jazz and blues, stand at the very headwaters of the American mainstream, and that much of what is best in American art embodies the blueshero traditiona heritage of grace, wit, and inspired improvisation in the face of adversity.Reviewing The OmniAmericans in 1970, Walker Percy called it the most important book on blackwhite relationships . . . indeed on American culture . . . published in this generation. As Henry Louis Gates, Jr. makes clear in his introduction, Murrays singular poetic voice, impassioned argumentation, and pluralistic vision have only become more urgently needed today.
