Images for change

In Images for Change, Rosemary Luling Haughton uses the guiding image of a house in order to analyze the social situation of contemporary life. She speaks of the need to cut new windows into our "houses" in order to jog our imaginative powers and think up creative solutions. She explores the areas of society that are hidden in the "downstairs" of our social structures, and she looks closely at those events and ideas and groups that the larger society has tried to hide away beneath the floorboards.

Dialogue

Thanks to the television program Soul!, a remarkable encounter between two of America's foremost Black writers was aired on public TV. Here, the transcript of that meeting between James Baldwin and Nikki Giovanni forms an engrossing document. Probing, searching, made dramatic by the recognition of sudden, subtle levels of confrontation, the Baldwin/Giovanni exchange is a freewheeling conversation ranging over many topics. A Dialogue explores problems facing Americans, black and white, as well as troubles besetting the world. Representing two different generations, the two writers discussed, argued, and communicated some painful truths. Addressing themselves particularly to the changing roles of men and women in modern society, they paid special attention to the consequences of these new modes of behavior on the already complex relationship between the Black man and the Black woman. The talk is stimulating, provocative, deeply felt, making this dialogue a rare, shared experience for the reader. --From publisher description.
