Sovereignty of the Imagination

Literary Nonfiction. Political Science. African American Studies. "SOVEREIGNTY OF THE IMAGINATION gives us that capacity for language and therefore the ability to name and establish categories. But this is not just a literary capacity; it allows us to define freedom. George Lamming recognizes the centrality of the quest for freedom for the social group that he calls 'this world of men and women from down below'"--Prof. Anthony Bogues, Political Science, Brown University.
