Description

Any Day Now: Toward a Black Aesthetic is a comprehensive collection of essays by Larry Neal, a key figure in the Black Arts Movement. Written between 1964 and 1978, these texts challenge the dominance of Western art-historical canon and call for Black artists to produce work rooted in their own history.

Edited by Allie Biswas, this volume introduces readers to the rich context in which Neal produced his work, illuminating the connections between literature, music, drama, and poetry. Neal's writing is characterized by its emphasis on community and social justice, as he argues that Black writers must engage with their world in a way that moves people.

This collection offers a unique insight into the Black Arts Movement and its vision for an art that speaks directly to the needs and aspirations of Black America. A valuable resource for anyone interested in American literature, art, and social justice.
