- Summary:
- Art of Work: The Art and Life of Haki R. Madhubuti details the life experiences and literary contributions of one of the most prolific American writers alive today. The book spans Madhubuti's life, highlighting his personal choices as a political activist, writer, educator, and husband, and maintains that Madhubuti, more than most of his contemporaries, successfully transformed from reactionary to modern-day visionary, still challenging the status quo in pursuit of justice and peace. With the publication of this text, Dr. Lita Hooper covers new ground that had not been previously explored in Madhubuti's work.
