Legacies of Resistance: Emerson, Buddhism, and Richard Wright’s Pragmatist Poetics
Emerson’s affinity with Buddhism has been the source of much controversy, and his adaptation of the doctrine translated as Buddhist “indifference” has been construed as stifling resistance to social injustice. I will revisit this topic, explaining why Emerson figures so prominently in discussions of Buddhism by the philosopher D. T. Suzuki and the British scholar R. H. Blyth, in order to develop a context for analyzing modes of resistance in Rich…
“I've Known Rivers”: Langston Hughes, Jacques Roumain, and the Emergence of Caribbean Modernism
Centering the analysis on three poems by Jacques Roumain—including two published in Haiti-Journal in 1931, the same year Roumain first met Langston Hughes, “Quand bat le tam-tam,” which Hughes himself would eventually translate, and “Langston Hughes”—this article traces the chronology of encounters between Hughes and Roumain, calling attention to their shared affinities with poets such as Walt Whitman and Jules Laforgue, in order to explore the d…

Modernist poetry crosses racial and national boundaries. The emergence of poetic modernism in the Americas was profoundly shaped by transatlantic contexts of empire-building and migration.

Works by Whitman, Poe, Eliot, Pound and their avant-garde contemporaries served as a heritage for black poets in the …

From Emerson to King: Democracy, Race, and the Politics of Protest
Patterson offers an exploration of Emerson's contribution to the national debate on democracy, race, and social reform. Emerson's writings, she contests, reveal a consistent pattern of contradiction between fundamental individual rights and race as a factor impossible to dismiss in a consideration of democratic values: ownership, nonconformity, freedom. She traces Emerson's legacy through the writing of African-American intellectuals of succeedin…
