Scheiber.The years between the collapse of Reconstruction and the end of World War I mark a pivotal moment in African American cultural production.

Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem offers fresh perspectives on the literary and cultural achievements of African American men and women during this critically neglected, though vitally important, period of our nation's past.
