Reviews
'Amiri Baraka and the Congress of African People accomplishes two very important tasks. It provides us with intimate details about CAP, a group that has been underappreciated in histories of Black radical organizations. The second, and equally significant, task Simanga addresses is the proper placement of Amiri Baraka into the historical record. He skillfully contextualizes Baraka's importance to the Black freedom movement and demonstrates why he was one of its most creative and politically committed thinkers.' - Joseph Jordan, Director, Sonja Haynes Stone Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
