In this important new anthology, Venetria K. Patton and Maureen
Honey bring together a comprehensive selection of texts from the
Harlem Renaissance -- a key period in the literary and cultural
history of the cultural life of the United States. The collection
revolutionizes our way of viewing this era, as it redresses the
ongoing emphasis on the male writers of this time. Double-Take
offers a unique, balanced collection of writers -- men and women,
gay and straight, familiar and obscure.
The editors have also included works from a wide variety of
genres -- poetry, short stories, drama, essays, music, and art --
allowing readers to understand the true interdisciplinary quality
of this cultural movement. Biographical sketches of the authors are
provided and most of the pieces are included in their entirety.
Double-Take also includes artwork and illustrations, many of which
are from periodicals and have never before been reprinted.
Significantly, Double-Take is the first book to include music
lyrics to illustrate the interrelation of various art forms.
Arranged by author, rather than by genre, this anthology
includes works from major Harlem Renaissance figures as well as
often-overlooked essayists, poets, dramatists, and artists.
