The Harlem Renaissance was over. The most intensive period
of the Civil Rights Movement was yet to be. From the late
1930s through the 1950s, African American novelists and
poets were nonetheless writing important, sometimes
wonderful books. We will study the writers and their times,
gauging the influence of the past and their influence on the
future. Writers will include Richard Wright, Gwendolyn
Brooks, Robert Hayden, William Attaway, Chester Himes, Ann
Petry, James Baldwin and Ralph Ellison.
