摘要：

Inspired by Nationalism which is embraced by the Black Power Movement in the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks shows the tendency to nationalist stance. "In the Mecca" demonstrates the interactions between her ideological position and her aesthetic one. Nationalism enhanced her critical consciousness toward the racial society and her eager to unify the black community. The poem refocuses on black ghetto which has been foregrounded by the dominant discourses and examines Mecca's decline caused by racism and Mecca's resistance guided by nationalism as well. Thus, this article examines Brooks's peculiar aesthetic dynamics which transforms her nationalist position into aesthetic features of polyphony.
