Writers of the Black Chicago Renaissance comprehensively explores
the contours and content of the Black Chicago Renaissance, a
creative movement that emerged from the crucible of rigid
segregation in Chicago's "Black Belt" from the 1930s through the
1960s. Heavily influenced by the Harlem Renaissance and the Chicago
Renaissance of white writers, its participants were invested in
political activism and social change as much as literature, art,
and aesthetics. The revolutionary writing of this era produced some
of the first great accolades for African American literature and
set up much of the important writing that came to fruition in the
Black Arts Movement. The volume covers a vast collection of
subjects, including many important writers such as Richard Wright,
Gwendolyn Brooks, and Lorraine Hansberry as well as cultural
products such as black newspapers, music, and theater. The book
includes individual entries by experts on each subject; a
discography and filmography that highlight important writers,
musicians, films, and cultural presentations; and an introduction
that relates the Harlem Renaissance, the White Chicago Renaissance,
the Black Chicago Renaissance, and the Black Arts Movement.
