Description

In the Break explores the complex relationships between black avant-garde in music and literature in the 1950s and 1960s. Fred Moten examines the intersection of black cultural nationalism, homoeroticism, and Western philosophy, arguing that improvisation provides a unique epistemological standpoint for understanding these connections. Through a critical analysis of Western philosophy and the work of influential black thinkers, Moten reveals the provocative connections between black aesthetics and Western thought.
