Mercy, Mercy Me(English, Hardcover, Hall James C.) is written by Hall James C. and published by Oxford University Press Inc. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0195096096 (ISBN 10) and 9780195096095 (ISBN 13).

Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book argues that American artistry in the Sixties can be understood as one of the most vital and compelling interrogations of modernity. James C. Hall finds that the legacy of slavery and the resistance to it have by necessity made African Americans among the most incisive critics and celebrants of the Enlightenment inheritance. Focusing on the work of six individuals--Robert Hayden, William Demby, Paule Marshall, John Coltrane, Romare Bearden, and W.E.B. DuBois--Mercy, Mercy Me seeks to recover an American tradition of evaluating the "dialectic of the Enlightenment."
