Description
The Harlem Renaissance was a cultural and intellectual movement of black artists and writers in the 1920s. Centered in the Harlem neighborhood in Manhattan, the movement extended outward through international collaboration that reached to Havana, Dakar, Moscow, and Marseilles. We will be reading works by writers including W. E. B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larsen, and Claude McKay as well as relevant history, theory, and criticism. Weekly writing, one long essay, midterm and final exam.
