Journal Article
Teaching the Experimental Arts of American Protest
2007
Overview
Published in 1938 as part of her book U.S. 1, \"The Book of the Dead\" is based on Rukeyser's investigation, performed with her friend the photographer Nancy Naumberg, of the notorious 1930s Hawk's Nest disaster, which was for many years the largest industrial \"accident\" in US history, in which upwards of 2,000 workers contracted silicosis, a fatal lung disease, while digging a water diversion tunnel.1 Rukeyser's poem is what might be called a form of documentary modernism -an \"experimental fusion of poetry and non-literary languages\" drawn from journalistic accounts, transcripts of Congressional hearings and interviews, excerpts of letters, even stock market accounts.\\n Wright and Rosskam's book, like much of Wright's fiction, tends to give short shrift to African American women, and their role in black history and activism.
