The phenomenon known as the Harlem Renaissance represented the flowering in literature and art of the New Negro movement of the 1920s, epitomized in The New Negro (1925), an anthology edited by Alain Locke that featured the early work of some of the most gifted Harlem Renaissance writers, including the poets Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, and Claude McKay and the novelists Rudolph Fisher, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jean Toomer. The “New Negro,” Locke announced, differed from the “Old Negro” in assertiveness and self-confidence, which led New Negro writers to question traditional “white” aesthetic standards, to eschew parochialism and propaganda, and to cultivate personal self-expression, racial pride, and literary experimentation. Spurred by an unprecedented receptivity to Black writing on the part of major American magazines, book publishers, and white patrons, the literary vanguard of the Harlem Renaissance enjoyed critical favour and financial rewards that lasted, at least for a few, until well into the Great Depression of the 1930s."]]> 2022-01-25 19:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aemanuel4/uu5hwp5ikvqx4v4h/wish/2012121832 Harlem Renaissance - Video aemanuel4 https://padlet.com/aemanuel4/uu5hwp5ikvqx4v4h/wish/2012126433 2022-01-25 20:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aemanuel4/uu5hwp5ikvqx4v4h/wish/2012126433 Artist Jacob Lawrence – The Migration of the Negro Series aemanuel4 https://padlet.com/aemanuel4/uu5hwp5ikvqx4v4h/wish/2012133909 Click on the image to get a closer look.
