Magazine
Black Dialogue. Vol. IV, No. 2, Summer 1970. 32 pages. 11" x 8.5" inches. New York. Black Dialogue was a magazine active in the 1960s and 70s that acted as a forum for Black discourse, featuring debates on contemporary politics as well as poetry and short stories. It was was created out of disagreement between members of the Afroamerican Research Institute that spoke through the publication SoulBook, and students of San Francisco University. The magazine had a radical and nationalist bent, tendencies which could be at odds in 1970, and was associated with the Black Arts Movement, though it published a wider array of writing than the explicitly political texts put out by its revolutionary contemporaries. This particular issue has a primer from former SNCC leader James Forman on his Black Manifesto, which was one of the earliest pushes for reparations, and an interview with expressionistic Black artist Vincent Smith. Features a cover image of a black man with an afro and sunglasses raising a gloved fist into the air in the iconic Black Power salute. The staples binding the spine have rusted, but still hold the magazine together, aside from one leaf which has come loose. Interiors are clean and bright, overall very good condition.Item #18049
