Of Time, Space and Revolution...

Easily one of the greatest collection of essays pertaining to Black liberation in text. Bennett is illustrious for his linear Historic and Sociological acumen - which is appropriate as he is one of the great scholars. However,these essays on revolution, the Middle Class and other related topics are timeless, possess a contemporary feel and deviate from his normative methodology. The writing is incisive and his observations are unique. There's a chapter entitled, 'The Task of the Negro Artist' which is simply poetic and a succeeding chapter on History where he poignantly delineates the pertinence of Historical cognition and this knowledge being the impetus for action. I love this book.
