Beginning in the 1930s, Black Chicago experienced a cultural
renaissance that lasted into the 1950s and rivaled the cultural
outpouring in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. The contributors
to this volume analyze this prolific period of African American
creativity in music, performance art, social science scholarship,
and visual and literary artistic expression. Unlike Harlem,
Chicago was an urban industrial center that gave a unique working
class and internationalist perspective to the cultural work being
done in Chicago. This collection's various essays discuss the
forces that distinguished the Black Chicago Renaissance from the
Harlem Renaissance and placed the development of black culture in a
national and international context. Among the topics discussed in
this volume are Chicago writers Gwendolyn Brooks and Richard
Wright, The Chicago Defender and Tivoli Theater, African American
music and visual arts, and the American Negro Exposition of
1940. Contributors are Hilary Mac Austin, David T. Bailey,
Murry N. DePillars, Samuel A. Floyd Jr., Erik S. Gellman, Jeffrey
Helgeson, Darlene Clark Hine, John McCluskey Jr., Christopher
Robert Reed, Elizabeth Schlabach, and Clovis E. Semmes.
