Annotation
A radical rereading of Emerson that posits African-American culture, literature and jazz as the very continuation and embodiment of pragmatic thought and democratic tradition. The book traces Emerson's legacy through the 19th and 20th centuries to discover how Emersonian thought continues to inform issues of race, aesthetics and poetic discourse.
