Abstract

The research sheds light on the revolutionary inclinations of Nikki Giovanni through the analysis of her works because she manages to stir and motivate the emotions of the blacks in order to regain their rights and liberate their minds from the white hegemony. People who grow up in a racist environment are the nucleus of revolutionaries and effective human rights activists in their societies who mirror the state of resentment and outrage of the persecuted people. Therefore, Giovanni efficiently seeks to reflect the suffering of her black society through her militant poetry. Giovanni urges the black men to carry their guns in defense of their usurped rights from the white man who intentionally dehumanized and marginalized them. She addresses in her fervent poetry the marginalized black women in order to empower them and participate in the renaissance and advance of their black society. Additionally, she discusses important issues from which the black community suffers such as race, gender, bad economic and social status, class discrimination and inequality.
