Black writers in this period engaged global imperial debates only from a nationalist standpoint

Evidence

The upshot was that with the exception of a very few, Black writers remained curiously disengaged from these larger debates about the contentions between imperialism and the imperialized formations on the global scale, and the consequences of these contentions for culture and literature as such, except from a strictly nationalist standpoint. — Aijaz Ahmad, In Theory, 353

Categorization

• XREF: The claim that Black radicalism stayed disengaged from Marxism except via nationalism parallels Ahmad’s general charge that discourse-based and identity-based frameworks obscure material/class structure. — connects to: The standard narrative of black politics erases its radical internationalist and socialist streams — Eddie S. Glaude Jr., Democracy in Black: How Race Still…, 407; Black nationalist art prioritized racial affiliation over aesthetic unity. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2884
