The Harlem Renaissance in Paris: Paris Noir

Catalog description

A study of the writers and artists of the Harlem Renaissance, as well as Black American musicians, who lived, studied, created, and performed in Paris during the 1920s and 30s. These artists left the oppressive racial environment of the US and were accepted by the French, and welcomed into literary, artistic, and musical circles. They went on to produce a prolific artistic output. Their Paris experience played a prominent role in this success.
