Hence, Black Post-Blackness compares the Black avant-garde of the 1960s and 1970s Black Arts Movement with its innovative spins of twenty-first century Black aesthetics focused on the 1970s second wave of the Black Arts Movement to show the connections between this final wave of the Black Arts movement and the early years of twenty-first century Black aesthetics to uncover a circle of Black post-Blackness that pivots on the power of anticipation, abstraction, mixed media, the global South, satire, public interiority, and the fantastic.
