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 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 James Weldon Johnson and others.
Contemporary views from David Levering Lewis, Jervis
Anderson and Maureen Honey will also be included.
MAJOR READINGS
THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD, Zora Neale
