Beskrivning
This book  examines the poetries of two Aboriginal Australian poets, namely Oodgeroo Noonuccal (formerly Kath Walker; 1920–1993) and Lionel Fogarty (1958– ) and two African American Black Arts poets , namely Amiri Baraka (formerly Everett LeRoi Jones; 1934–2014) and Sonia Sanchez (1943– ) to demonstrate their role in the struggle for civil and human rights of their peoples from the 1960s. The book demonstrates commonalities and differences in the strategies of these poets’ literary and political resistance. These poet-activists, though ethnically diverse and geographically dispersed, share comparable socio-political concerns and aspirations. Their activism is not a reflection of a single ideological current, but a bricolage of many ideologies and perspectives. They have engaged in trans-Pacific political movements and transgressed the borders of any one ideological territory. It is important to establish Aboriginal and African American trans-Pacific communication because these poets have collaborated and engaged in global politics (whether in the form of Garveyism or the “transnation”).  Their poetries are characterized by an irresistible drive towards international rhizomatic collaboration and engagement. This is a transcontinental literary influence exerted by African American poets on Aboriginal poets during the 1960s and beyond.

“Ameer Chasib Furaih is to be congratulated for his masterful contribution to forging transcontinental cultural links between Aboriginal Australian and African American literatures. This is the kind of global network that matters among peoples fighting for cultural and political autonomy, and he makes a compelling case for how this network is strengthened through literary activism.” — Stephen Muecke, Nulungu Research Institute, Broome, Western Australia.“Poetry of the Civil Rights Movements in Australia and the United States engages an important era of grassroots activism and poetic experimentation from which we still have much to learn. The book’s purposeful juxtapositions productively situate Indigenous Australian responses to settler colonialism within transnational and global contexts.” —Chadwick Allen, author of TransIndigenous: Methodologies for Global Native Literary Studies.An invaluable contribution to the study of transnationalism and Blackness, the global history of the Civil Rights era, United States and Australian literary connections … the relationship between poetry and politics, and individual studies of each poet. —JASAL: Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature.
