- Description:
- The primary intent of this thesis is to discuss the significance of Black women and the images they project in the poetry of Nikki Giovanni. An attempt has been made to identify reoccurring female images and interpret the historical, social and political implications of these reoccurring female images in the poetry of Nikki Giovanni. The study reveals the importance of Nikki Giovanni's poetry in accurately assessing life in the Black experience. The female images seen in her poetry reflect the Black community and its relationship to the American society.
