Between 1960 and 1980, artists, curators and critics in the United States repeatedly asked this question in response to the social and political upheavals embodied by radical voices such as Malcolm X and the Black Panthers. Their diverse perspectives were published in national newspapers, museum catalogs, and one-off pamphlets, prompting a lively public debate. The Soul of a Nation Reader collects over 200 of these rare and out-of-print writings, offering a powerful record of the positions taken by figures including Amiri Baraka, Frank Bowling, David Hammons, Elizabeth Catlett, and Linda Goode-Bryant. In this conversation with moderator LeRonn P. Brooks, the book's editors Mark Godfrey and Allie Biswas discuss various dimensions of this cultural dialogue, while highlighting specific texts. Six years in the making, this landmark anthology provides access to these important materials for the first time.
