Summary

Features essays, memoirs, poetry, and fiction from a select group of authors who wrote during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920sFrom its beginnings in 1919, with soldiers returning from the Great War, to its sputtering end in 1934, with the Great Depression, the New Negro Movement in arts and letters proclaimed the experience of African American men and women in reverberating manifestos, poems of exhilerating energy and candor, and in novels, short stories, essays, and plays. This magnificent volume features a wealth of fiction and nonfiction works by 45 writers from the voices of that exuberant era. --, Publisher description
