A perfect guide for use in high school classes, this book explores
the fascinating literature of the Harlem Renaissance, reviewing
classic works in the context of the history, society, and culture
of its time. The Harlem Renaissance is one of the most interesting
eras in African American literature as well as a highly regarded

Americans everywhere, addressing topics such as prohibition, race
riots, racism, interracial marriage, sharecropping, and lynching.
Each chapter includes historical background on both the literary
work and the author and explores several themes through historical
document excerpts and thoughtful analysis to illustrate how
literature responded to the surrounding social circumstances.

work remains relevant today. Discusses five major writers of the
Harlem Renaissance Provides numerous suggestions for class
