Epilogue : Richard Wright's interrogations of the new negro.The Making of the New Negro examines black masculinity in the period of the Harlem Renaissance, a cultural movement that spanned the 1920s and 1930s in America and was marked by an outpouring of African American art, music, theater and literature. The Harlem Renaissance, or New Negro Movement, began attracting extensive academic attention in the 1990s as scholars discovered how complex, significant, and fascinating it was. Drawing on African American texts, archives, unpublished writings, and contemporaneous European discourses, this book highlights both the canonical figures of the New Negro Movement and African American culture such as W. E. B. Dubois, Booker T. Washington, Alain Locke, and Richard Wright, and other writers such as Wallace Thurman, who have not received as much scholarly attention despite their significant contributions to the movement. Anna Pochmara offers a striking combination of thorough literary analysis and historicist investigation in order to provide novel insights into one of the most important periods of black history in the United States.American studies (Amsterdam, Netherlands)American literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismAfrican AmericansIntellectual lifeUnited StatesCivilizationAfrican influencesAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticism.African AmericansIntellectual life.810.9896073Pochmara Anna1478073UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910789770703321The making of the new negro3693624UNINA
