The Restoration of the Spirituality of Blackness In "Everett LeRoi Jones’s Selected Plays"

Abstract

 LeRoi Jones (Imamu Amiri Baraka, 1943-2014) is one of the American literary men whose drama rocked the American stage with its violence and innovative vision. His ups and downs in life as well as his changing political phases formed his theatrical vision and influenced his audience. This research is an attempt to explore his views at a certain era in his career through studying three selected plays; The Toilet(1964),The Slave Ship(1967),and The Motion of History(1977).
