[141]-156) and index.Black nationalist discourse in the postwar period -- The dual nationalism of Alain Locke's The new Negro -- The dance of nationalism in the Harlem Renaissance -- Marxism and Black proletarian literary theory -- Langston Hughes's radical poetry and the "end of race" -- Richard Wright's critique of nationalist desire -- Beyond twentieth-century nationalisms in the study of African American culture.During and after the Harlem Renaissance, two intellectual forces nationalism and Marxism clashed and changed the future of African American writing. Current literary thinking says that writers with nationalist leanings wrote the most relevant fiction, poetry, and prose of the day. Nationalism, Marxism, and African American Literature Between the Wars: A New Pandora's Box challenges that notion. It boldly proposes that such writers as A. Philip Randolph, Langston Hughes, and Richard Wright, who often saw the world in terms of class struggle, did more to advance the anti-racist politics of AfricaMargaret Walker Alexander series in African American studies.American literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismNationalism and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryCommunism and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centurySocialism and literatureUnited StatesHistory20th centuryBlack nationalismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAmerican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismAfrican AmericansIntellectual life20th centuryAfrican AmericansPolitics and governmentAfrican Americans in literatureBlack nationalism in literaturePolitics in literatureRace in literatureAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticism.Nationalism and literatureHistoryCommunism and literatureHistorySocialism and literatureHistoryBlack nationalismHistoryAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.African AmericansIntellectual lifeAfrican AmericansPolitics and government.African Americans in literature.Black nationalism in literature.Politics in literature.Race in literature.810.9/896073Dawahare Anthony1961-1642578MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818717203321Nationalism, Marxism, and African American literature between the wars4001753UNINA
