The Harlem Renaissance

Catalog description

Black artists in Harlem (and other densely populated urban areas) produced a significant collection of work remarkable for its breadth and complexity during the anachronistically named Harlem Renaissance (1922-1941). This course explores that creative explosion in an attempt to develop a comprehensive understanding of what compelled the movement and why the Harlem Renaissance continues to be so influential in Black literature and culture today. ENG 215 , 328 , or 329 recommended.
