Its most obvious manifestation was in a self-conscious literary movement, but it touched almost every component of African American creative culture in the period from World War I through the Great Depression: music, the visual arts, theater, and literature. It also affected politics, social development, and almost every phase of the African American experience in the 1920s and 1930s.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis anthology concentrates on the literary aspects of the Harlem Renaissance, though it does include several examples of the visual arts associated with the movement. The literary texts are arranged more or less chronologically; for the most part shorter pieces have been selected that could be presented in their entirety. There are some excerpts from longer works. All of the major authors are represented as well as some less well known. This anthology also includes selections that help frame the history of the movement, several essays on the Harlem Renaissance, as well as some critism contemporary to the writing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConcluding with a bibliography, this volume serves as a brief introduction to the Harlem Renaissance, its writers, and the rich body of literature they produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I: Introduction.  \u003cp\u003ePart II: African American Literature before the Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart III: African American Literature in Transition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart IV: The Origins of the Harlem Renaissance: 1924-1926.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart V: The Harlem Renaissance 1926-1930.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart VI: Slow Fade to Black: The 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected Bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20%5BHB%5D%22\"\u003eHB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449431388440,"sku":"9781881089674","price":24.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781881089674.jpg?v=1785199111","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-harlem-renaissance-a-history-and-an-anthology-paperback-softback-9781881089674","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
