Introduction

Dear Readers,

Welcome to The Omni-American Review, a journal of arts and intellectual life dedicated to exploring and celebrating the depths of American culture. Our name is an homage to The Omni-Americans, Albert Murray’s 1970 book written from the heights of his Harlem apartment where Murray redefined the lines of American identity. This publication likewise aspires to be a spiritual-intellectual home for those who know that “for all their traditional antagonisms and obvious differences, the so-called black people and the so-called white people of the United States resemble nobody else in the world as much as they resemble each other.”
