Amiri Baraka
}}
Amiri Baraka (born Everett LeRoi Jones; October 7, 1934 – January 9, 2014), formerly known as LeRoi Jones and Imamu Amear Baraka,〔 was an African-American writer of poetry, drama, fiction, essays and music criticism. He was the author of numerous books of poetry and taught at a number of universities, including the State University of New York at Buffalo and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He received the PEN Open Book Award, formerly known as the Beyond Margins Award, in 2008 for ''Tales of the Out and the Gone''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pen.org/page.php/prmID/929 )〕
Baraka’s career spanned nearly 50 years, and his themes range from Black liberation to White racism. Some poems that are always associated with his name are "The Music: Reflection on Jazz and Blues", "The Book of Monk", and "New Music, New Poetry", works that draw on topics from the worlds of society, music, and literature. Baraka's poetry and writing have attracted both extreme praise and condemnation. Within the African-American community, some compare Baraka to James Baldwin and recognize him as one of the most respected and most widely published Black writers of his generation.〔Salaam, Kaluma. (“Historical Overviews of The Black Arts Movement” ) in ''The Oxford Companion to African American Literature'' (Oxford University Press, 1997); see also Nelson, Cary (ed.), ''Modern American Poetry: An Online Journal and Multimedia Companion to Anthology of Modern American Poetry'' (Champaign, Illinois: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2002).〕 Others have said his work is an expression of violence, misogyny, homophobia and racism.〔 Regardless of viewpoint, Baraka’s plays, poetry, and essays have been defining texts for African-American culture.
Baraka's brief tenure as Poet Laureate of New Jersey (2002–03) involved controversy over a public reading of his poem "Somebody Blew Up America?" and accusations of anti-semitism, and some negative attention from critics, and politicians.
