"The story of Baraka's metamorphosis is itself part of the story of contemporary literature's development." -- Publishers Weekly
"Always a nuance ahead of everybody else, he is our more original writers. Nobody else comes close." --Ishmael Reed
"He is regarded by those closest to Black art as the nation's leading Black writer, which of course suggests that no other, however talented, has proven--in this time and place--more valuable to Black people." -- Ebony
