Outstanding, in-depth scholarship by renowned literary critics;
great starting point for students seeking an introduction to the
theme and the critical discussions surrounding it. Critical
Insights: Harlem Renaissance presents the period of unparallel
growth in art and literature from the African American Community,
also known as the Harlem Renaissance. With its production of key
authors, from Langston Hughes to Claude McKay, among others, the
Harlem Renaissance saw the rise in creative endeavors by black
artists and writers eager to celebrate the unique characteristics
of black life and to challenge the institutionalized racial
hierarchy pervasive within twentieth-century American society.
These creative thinkers, certainly intellectuals in their own
right, used their poetry, short stories, novels, and plays as a
vehicle to critique the longstanding issues within society that
limited socioeconomic mobility for blacks, while perpetuating
startling stereotypes about a community too long oppressed. Because
of its undeniable impact in shaping the American cultural
imagination regarding blacks and on the larger American literary
canon, the Harlem Renaissance has since been heavily studied as the
most significant period of artistic as well as cultural development
the African American community has ever experienced. This title
seeks to offer not only expanded readings of the central themes
that have long captivated the attention of scholars across time,
but also providing valuable insight into the texts, authors, and
critical perspectives too often overlooked. Each essay is 2,500 to
5,000 words in length, and all essays conclude with a list of
""Works Cited,"" along with endnotes. Finally, the volume's
appendixes offer a section of useful reference resources: About
This Volume; Critical Context: Original Introductory Essays;
Critical Readings: Original In-Depth Essays; Further Readings;
Detailed Bibliography; Detailed Bio of the Editor; General Subject
Index.
