Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2003.

This dissertation explores black cultural politics in Los Angeles between 1943 and 1973, arguing that cultural struggles constituted a primary means by which African Americans imagined new concepts of community, battled to transform urban conditions, and helped to fundamentally alter the parameters of cultural life in Southern California. In doing so, it seeks to broaden the spatial and temporal parameters commonly associated with the black arts movement, even as it strives to demonstrate the impossibility and undesirability of insisting upon a solitary movement as such.

520 $a This dissertation explores black cultural politics in Los Angeles between 1943 and 1973, arguing that cultural struggles constituted a primary means by which African Americans imagined new concepts of community, battled to transform urban conditions, and helped to fundamentally alter the parameters of cultural life in Southern California. In doing so, it seeks to broaden the spatial and temporal parameters commonly associated with the black arts movement, even as it strives to demonstrate the impossibility and undesirability of insisting upon a solitary movement as such.
520 $a Three aspects of cultural politics are explored within this dissertation. Processes of artist self-organization emerged as a fundamental aspect of black cultural politics. Formal institutions and organizations became a primary means by which cultural producers altered their concrete material conditions as black artists. At the same time, collective organization influenced developing aesthetic ideas, contributing to a broader imagining of the parameters of black community and the possibilities of black art. At other moments, artist organizations became important segments of the larger black power movement in Los Angeles. Part of the aim of this dissertation thus lies in exploring black cultural production during this time as a fluid social movement possessing, variegated organizations, social bases, and strategic, aesthetic, and political conceptual debates.
520 $a This work deals primarily with the ideas and activities of successive and interrelated groupings of politically-engaged, locally-based, community-oriented black artists. The focus remains throughout on creative individuals and communities. In addition to tracing groupings of visual artists, poets and avant-garde musicians, various cultural institutions and organizations are traced. These include the Watts Writers Workshop, the Ebony Showcase Theater, the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra/Underground Musicians Union, the Inner City Cultural Center, the Black Artists Council, Studio Watts Workshop, and the Compton Communicative Arts Academy. Links between these organizations and a broader constellation of forces interested in the political possibilities of black expressive culture are detailed. Thus the Black Panther Party, the US Organization, private charitable foundations, the federal government, and the local state, particularly the mayoral administration of Tom Bradley, are all key players in this story.
