Black Phoenix : third world perspective on contemporary art and culture / edited by Rasheed Araeen and Mahmood Jamal.

Araeen, Rasheed, (editor.). Jamal, Mahmood, (editor.).

Summary:

Edited and published by Rasheed Araeen and Mahmood Jamal between 1978 and 1979 in the UK, Black Phoenix remains a key and radical document of transnational solidarity and cultural production in the fields of visual art, literature, activism, and beyond. This publication compiles all three issues of the journal into a single volume. More than a decade after the liberation movements of the 1960s and the historic Bandung and Tricontinental Conferences, which called for social and political alignment and solidarity among the nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America in order to dismantle Western imperialism and (neo)colonialism, Black Phoenix issued a rallying cry for the formation of a liberatory arts and culture movement throughout the Third World. International in scope, Black Phoenix positioned diasporic and colonial histories at the center of an evolving anti-racist and anti-imperialist consciousness in late 1970s Britain and beyond - one that would yield complex and nuanced discourses of race, class, and postcolonial theory in the decade that followed. Black Phoenix proposed a horizon for Blackness that transcended racial binaries, across the Third World and the West. Contributors include art critics, scholars, artists, poets, and writers, including Rasheed Araaen (Pakistan) and Mahmood Jamal (Pakistan), Guy Brett (UK), Kenneth Coutts-Smith (UK), Ariel Dorfman (Chile), Eduardo Galeano (Uruguay), N. Kilele (Tanzania), Babatunde Lawal (Nigeria), David Medalla (Philippines), Ayyub Malik (Pakistan), Susil Siriwardena (Sri Lanka), and Chris Wanjala (Kenya).
