Amiri Baraka is a major figure in the contemporary black literature. He is a poet, dramatist, essayist and critic. Baraka is best known for his brilliant early play The Dutchman and for his contribution to the development of community based Black Nationalist theatre. As a writer, political activist and revolutionary, Amiri Baraka using art, created a black national consciousness in America. He got the Obie Award for The Dutchman in 1964 (Best off- Broadway play). The play deals with racism and alienation. It pictures the Negroes, who were treated as slaves by the white people. The two main characters are Clay, a twenty year old Negro and Lula, a thirty year old white woman. Lula harasses him about his middle-class identity. Clay loses his position of alienation and forgets his identity and is concentrated into the World of Lula, the worlds of racism, class conflict and sex. Baraka outpours all his emotions through the character of Clay. Through the character of Clay, Baraka pours all his feelings about black people. The death of Clay suggests the destruction of the black people and the supremacy of the white people in the name of racism. Keywords: Transgressions, Black Nationalist theatre, alienation, sexual encounter etc.
