Throughout, Omaar Hena demonstrates how�these poets engage with urgent crises surrounding race and social inequality�over the past fifty years, spanning policing and racial violence in the 1970s and 1980s, through poetry's cultural�recognition in the 1990s and 2000s by museums, the 2012 London Olympics, the publishing scene, and awards�and prizes, as well as continuing social realities of riots and uprisings. In dub poetry, dramatic monologues, ekphrasis, and�lyric, Hena argues that British Black and Asian poets perform racial politics in conditions of spiraling crisis. Engaged and insightful, this book argues that poetry�remains a vital art form in twenty-first-century global Britain.�This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omaar Hena","offers":[{"title":"Worked examples or Exercises \/ 06\/08\/2026 \/ Literary studies: poetry \u0026 poets","offer_id":57299771785591,"sku":"9781009712385","price":34.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781009712385","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
