The African American Roots of Modernism explores how the Jim Crow system triggered significant artistic and intellectual responses from African American writers, deeply marking the beginnings of literary modernism and, ultimately, notions of American modernity.In identifying the Jim Crow periodJohn Hope Franklin series in African American history and culture.African AmericansIntellectual life19th centuryAfrican AmericansIntellectual life20th centuryAfrican AmericansSegregationAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)United StatesSegregation in literatureAfrican AmericansIntellectual lifeAfrican AmericansIntellectual lifeAfrican AmericansSegregation.American literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticism.Modernism (Literature)Segregation in literature.810.9/896073Smethurst James Edward1562252MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789413503321The African American roots of modernism3851973UNINA
