Coleman, Jeffrey Lamar. "Transforming Words/Revolutionizing Verses: Four Poets of the American Civil Rights Movement," American Studies Program, University of New Mexico, April 1997.
This work focuses on the literary, social and cultural impact the American Civil Rights Movement has had on traditionally marginalized racial and ethnic groups. My fundamental approach involves researching and examining literary and cultural productions which offer themselves to an interpretation within a framework of rights: the Civil Rights Movement in specific, and human rights in general. My primary intention is to examine, explicate, and historicize the corpus of poetry written mainly during the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s by Gwendolyn Brooks, Amiri Baraka, Alice Walker, and Michael S. Harper, which reflects ideologies borne from the Civil Rights Movement.
