The book not only demonstrates the commonalities and differences in the literary and political strategies of Australian Aboriginal poets, namely Oodgeroo Noonuccal (1920-1993) and Lionel Fogarty (1958- ), and African American Black Arts poets Amiri Baraka and Sonia Sanchez (1943- ), but also examines the Aboriginal and African American trans-Pacific literary exchange, promoted by their engagement in an international Black resistance movement.
