GerShun Avilez charts a new genealogy of contemporary African American artistic production that illuminates how questions of gender and sexuality guided artistic experimentation in the Black Arts Movement from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. As Avilez shows, the artistic production of the Black Arts era provides a set of critical methodologies and paradigms rooted in the disidentification with black nationalist discourses. Avilez's close readings study how this emerging subjectivity, termed \u003ci\u003eaesthetic radicalism\u003c\/i\u003e, critiqued nationalist rhetoric in the past. It also continues to offer novel means for expressing black intimacy and embodiment via experimental works of art and innovative artistic methods. \u003cp\u003eA bold addition to an advancing field, \u003ci\u003eRadical Aesthetics and Modern Black Nationalism\u003c\/i\u003e rewrites recent black cultural production even as it uncovers unexpected ways of locating black radicalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eCover\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eTitle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eContents\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003eIntroduction: The Art of Revolution\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-level-1\"\u003ePart I.
