REWRITE THESE TWO PARAGRAPHS IN A WAY THAT IS DIFFERENT USING TOOLS USCH AS A THESUARUS!

But is he a revolutionary? Baraka can be said to be a revolutionary only in the sense that anyone who considers himself revolutionary and is somehow committed to sweeping political and economic change is a revolutionary. He cannot be said to be a revolutionary if it includes being a part of a mass political movement with both the desire and a potentially viable strategy for challenging the authority of the existing social order. Even at the height of his involvement with black cultural nationalism, Baraka could not accurately be viewed as having been a member of a movement that threatened the power of the state. A revolutionary must possess a normative vision, one that appears simultaneously utopian and realizable given the constraints of the status quo. Such a dialectical vision has never been present in Baraka’s thought.

Despite the romanticism and exaggeration often associated with this narrative of Baraka’s political journey, his activities in Newark between 1967 and 1974 were marked by a quality of political engagement that has rarely been rivaled in the twentieth century by traditional American intellectuals. It was unremarkable for poets to write poems and essays about political issues. But joining picket lines was rare. It was exceptional for an American poet to be arrested and imprisoned as a political prisoner. It was unheard of for an established poet/playwright of Baraka’s stature to take the lead in formulating political actions (e.g., establishing picket lines, leading boycotts, disrupting school board meetings, organizing electoral candidates, trying to build needed public housing) while continuing to write. Baraka, the writer who was politically engaged, became indistinguishable from Baraka, the political activist who wrote. Baraka became the model of the revolutionary black man from his political art.
