John Oliver Killens: A Life of Black Literary Activism
Keith Gilyard
In this first major biography of John Oliver Killens, Keith Gilyard examines the life and career of the man who was perhaps the premier African American writer-activist from the 1950s to the 1980s. Gilyard extends his focus to the broad boundaries of Killens's times and literary achievement-from the Old Left to the Black Arts Movement and beyond.
