Carl Van Vechten and the Harlem Renaissance is grounded in the dramas occasioned by the Harlem Renaissance, as it is called today, or New Negro Renaissance, as it was called in the 1920's, when it first came into being. Emily Bernard focuses on writing-the black and white of things-the articles, fiction, essays, and letters that Carl Van Vechten wrote to black people and about black culture, and the writing of the black people who wrote to and about him. Above all, she is interested in the interpersonal exchanges that inspired the writing, which are ultimately far more significant than the public records would suggest. This book is a partial biography of a once controversial figure. It is not a comprehensive history of an entire life, but rather a chronicle of one of his lives, his black life, which began in his boyhood and thrived until his death. The narrative at the core of Carl Van Vechten and the Harlem Renaissance is not an attempt to answer the question of whether Van Vechten was good or bad for black people, or whether or not he hurt or helped black creative expression during the Harlem Renaissance. As Bernard writes, the book instead "enlarges that question into something much richer and more nuanced: a tale about the messy realities of race, and the complicated tangle of black and white." 517 3 $aPortrait in black and white 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aAfrican Americans$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xIntellectual life 606 $aHarlem Renaissance 607 $aHarlem (New York, N.Y.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aHarlem Renaissance. 676 $a813/.52 700 $aBernard$b Emily$f1967-$01055071 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461666303321 996 $aCarl Van Vechten and the Harlem Renaissance$92488190 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03044oam 2200637I 450 001 9910780033003321 005 20230607213423.0 010 $a1-135-66683-0 010 $a1-135-66684-9 010 $a1-282-37420-6 010 $a9786612374203 010 $a1-4106-0287-7 024 7 $a10.4324/9781410602879 035 $a(CKB)111056486640234 035 $a(EBL)234168 035 $a(OCoLC)191036463 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000099805 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11108352 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000099805 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10037826 035 $a(PQKB)10449788 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC234168 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL234168 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10084509 035 $a(OCoLC)70741198 035 $a(OCoLC)49852237 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111056486640234 100 $a20180706d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 13$aAn African Athens $erhetoric and the shaping of democracy in South Africa /$fPhilippe-Joseph Salazar 210 1$aMahwah, N.J. :$cL.

Author Philippe-Joseph Salazar provides a general view of issues as they have taken shape in the apartheid and post-apartheid South African experience, presenting the country as a remarkable stage for playing out the great themes of public deliberation and the rise of postmodern rhetorical democracy. Salazar's intimate vantage point focuses on the striking case of a democracy won at the negotiating table and also won every day in public deliberation.
