Surrealism was a broad movement; which attracted many adherents. It was organized and quite strictly disciplined; at least until the death of its leader; AndrZ Breton; in 1966. As a consequence; its membership was in a constant state of flux: persons were constantly being admitted and excluded; and often the latter continued to regard themselves as Surrealists. The wide-ranging nature of the Surrealist movement was spread over many countries and many different art forms; including painting; sculpture; cinema; photography; music; theater; and literature; most notably poetry. The Historical Dictionary of Surrealism relates the history of this movement through a chronology; an introductory essay; a bibliography; and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary entries on persons; circles; and groups who participated in the movement; a global entry on some of the journals and reviews they produced; and a sampling of major works of art; cinema; and literature.

Great Review on the Performance of BlacknessBy The DiamondI was assigned to read the introduction for class but was so captivated that I had to buy the book in its entirety. Moten is a scholar and a poet. This book will be a staple in my research repertoire.
