Perhaps the domesticating or mainstreaming into the demands of U. S. politics, or the demises of leaders with whom she intersected, has created this new persona. But it also indicates a side of Angelou that was shaped by her involvement in the performative arts. The conclusion of this work with the figure of Angelou, however, ends up being somewhat anticlimactic, perhaps because Higashida does not also look at other possibilities for black internationalist feminism in a subsequent generation. This ending also suggests, ironically, that the black left activism of an earlier generation has acquired a kind of media popularity, rather than formed a legacy of political organizing. The growing library of this scholarship is what nonetheless energizes those who are working in this area as, with each contribution, one is able to advance the understanding of the dynamism of the black left. Almost obliterated in the last century but having remained alive in its literary works, its intellectual and critical contributions, and its interventions, the black left remains dedicated to the full liberation of African-descended people and their friends and allies worldwide.
