From Library Journal
Brown (English, Austin Peay State Univ.) organizes her study around the concept of "African American vernacular culture," which she defines as "customs and mores that appear to be most specifically manifested by persons in the United States who trace their ancestry to Africans enslaved there." One feature of this culture is an oral quality that she maintains appears in both the spoken and the written word. Aspects of this tradition manifest themselves, for example, in the frequent use of repetition (especially call and response), the didacticism (or "preachment," to use Gwendolyn Brooks's term), the utilization of music, and the boast-and-toast traditions. While the book is not a "history" of African American poetry (there is, for instance, no chronological ordering of authors), Brown does believe that poetry operates within a "continuum." Thus, Langston Hughes can be spoken of in relationship to recent poets like Saul Williams or Reg E. Gaines. This ambitious, provocative study (particularly on the place of gender and sexuality in this vernacular culture) is recommended for all black literature and/or American poetry collections.

Review
"Fahamisha Patricia Brown's Performing the Word represents a real contribution to African American poetical and critical theory." -- Joanne M. Braxton, Cummings Professor of English College of William and Mary

From the Back Cover
Performing the Word offers readers of African American poetry a way of understanding and appreciating body of work that has received little critical attention. While African American literary tradition begins with eighteenth-century poets like Lucy Terry, Jupiter Hammon, and Phillis Wheatley, critical discussions of African American Poetry have been sparse. Aside from a few studies of "major" poets, such as Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, Robert Hayden, Rita Dove, or period histories of phenomena such as the Harlem Renaissance, there has been little sustained critical inquiry into African American poetry as a body of literature- until now.

Fahamista Patricia Brown examines elements of African American expressive culture- its language practices, both fold and popular. Her book is an excellent introductioni to a diverse group of poets and the common basis of their work in language practices and performativity, in the expressive culture of a people. Performing the Word is an important contribution to the understanding of African American culture and American poetry as a whole.
