Description
The Harlem Renaissance, 1919–1931, was one of the most exciting periods in American literary and cultural history. Although many Black intellectuals of that period saw art as a means to eliminate racial prejudice, there was a growing controversy about the efficacy of the period. This course assesses the pros and cons of this issue through examination of the fictional and critical texts of writers such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Henry Louis Gates.
