By Bianca Sams. Amiri Baraka's work taught me that as an artist you could be brash, political, irreverent, and even obnoxious if you liked. Baraka's words could take the audience by the throat, pour gasoline down their gullet, and laugh while striking a match. Dutchman is raw, violent, earth shattering, controversial, and politically arresting.
