ABSTRACT

Bae In-cheol published African American poetry in the liberation period, and showed the unique characteristics of the era. He regarded African American as the symbol of contemporary conditions and poetized by comparing national identity to their situations. His African American poetry seemed to deal with the discriminated black, but its lines originally meant national identity. His efforts are enough to approve the ethical responsibility that poets should understand the signs of the times more sincerely and quickly than others. In particular, Bae should get a high valuation in that he excluded the method of possessing American good or bad images exclusively, unlikely the poets of the day. He made efforts to look at objectively the actual situation of ‘the Other’, America that concealed the historic tragedy and constructed the new order worldwide after the Second World War. It requires to extract an anti-American sentiment by approaching to his African American poetry emotionally or to foster dichotomous attitude that decides as leftist outcome by being captured to his organization’s ideology. That is why his poetry is different from other poets, and his position should be prepared in the contemporary preview.
