• "By the time "The New Cavalcade" appeared in two volumes twenty years [after the original edition], Redding was dead and Joyce A. Joyce joined Arthur Davis as co-editor, her nationalistic aesthetic balancing the conservatism of the original editors. The term "Negro", already becoming anachronistic in 1971, was replaced in the subtitle by "African American" the treatment of the militant writers in the introduction to the fifth section was drastically revised; and a final section—The African American Literary Revival: The 1970s to the Present—was added. Throughout "The New Cavalcade" headnotes have been revised and updated, and the original bibliography (including primary as well as secondary sources, but not articles) has almost tripled in size. Anyone teaching a survey course in African-American literature should seriously consider "The New Cavalcade" for adoption" (Kinnamon 1997: 464).
