Is black literature good? What should I start with?

Is black literature good? What should I start with?

The Invisible Man and the play "Fences."

I read invisible man, it was ok. Is Song of Solomon better? I don't want to waste my time you know.

I liked Fences a lot. Seeing it with James Earl Jones would be cool as fuck

If you thought Invisible Man was just okay then you probably just shouldn't read black American lit. Song of Solomon is Morrison at her best, but Ellison is black lit at its best.

>Is Song of Solomon better?
No, it's a deeply mediocre novel that's promoted by self-flagellating whites for political reasons rather than literary merit. Essentially it's a racist anti-White diatribe that's poorly disguised by the author's sanctimony and false empathy for other races. Blacks still don't understand symbolism or how to structure a narrative, so expect lots of wacky hair colors, hilariously incompetent and heavy-handed biblical references, and an incessant stream of super quirky non sequiturs that wouldn't be out of place in a pretentious film student's first movie.

That fat retard considers Angels in America to be part of the Western Canon and didn't have sex until he was 34

>>he's a virgin!
I literally said the opposite of that
>>click bait article about identity politics
Toni Morrison IS clickbait identity politics incarnate; it is impossible to discuss her books without discussing the failures of black identitarians

Why do marxists who don't like identity politics always implicitly support non-white tribalism, or explicitly in the form of groups like the Black Panthers, when this same tribalism is a reflection of White fascism?

Is it because marxists always support the loser in everything or they unironically believe black people are tribalistic purely down to social environmentalist "whitey did it"?

Let's say in Africa a black neo-liberal/capitalist elite came to power, would marxists support "White Power" National Socialists who are ideologically nationalist, like black power groups are, but economically 100% socialist/communist? Like if there was a White minority group in that country and they were susceptible to revolution.
