The course will study the literature, politics, and art of the Harlem Renaissance - roughly a period from 1915-1940. This was a time when African American writers, artists, philosophers, activists, and musicians, congregating in New York City's Harlem, sought to define African American culture. The era has most frequently been thought of as a 1920s-only phenomenon, and many have suggested that it was less a renaissance than a first flowering of a collective artistic spirit. We will energetically take on the debate. Readings include works by Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larsen, Claude McKay, Alain Locke, W. E. B. Du Bois, and others. Contemporary views from Steven Watson and others will also be discussed. |
