The volume explores 1930s African American writing to examine Black
life, culture, and politics to document the ways Black artists and
everyday people managed the Great Depression's economic impact on
the creative and the social. Essays engage iconic figures such as
Sterling Brown, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Dorothy West,
and Richard Wright as well as understudied writers such as Arna
Bontemps and Marita Bonner, Henry Lee Moon, and Roi Ottley. This
book demonstrates the significance of the New Deal's Works Progress
Administration (WPA), the Communist Party of the United States
(CPUSA) and Black literary circles in the absence of white
patronage. By featuring novels, poetry, short fiction, and drama
alongside guidebooks, photographs, and print culture, African
American Literature in Transition 1930-1940 provides evidence of
the literary culture created by Black writers and readers during a
period of economic precarity, expanded activism for social justice,
and urgent internationalism.
