Abstract EN
Brooks's awakening and her rebirth into blackness are represented in her works, In the Mecca(1968) and Riot (1969).
These two works encompass new dimensions in Brooks's way of writing and indicate the change in almost all her poetic aspects.
The new black experience which Brooks has acquired after the awakening turned her from being an assimilationist poetess into an activist and a protester.
Brooks's poems after 1967 have undergone thematic change.
Brooks's major interest after the awakening was to urge black characters to be aware of their black beauty, pride and more importantly their black identity.
This change greatly affected her content, tone, form and style of writing.
In the Mecca and Riot clearly reflect the effect of the new experience on both themes and forms.
