W.E.B. Du Bois, Carter G. Woodson, Langston Hughes, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, and other Harlem Renaissance figures took an impassioned interest in the literary models offered to children, believing that the "New Negro" would ultimately arise from black youth. As a result, African American children's literature became a crucial medium through which a disparate community forged bonds of cultural, economic, and aesthetic solidarity. Kate Capshaw Smith explores the period's vigorous exchange about the nature and identity of black childhood and uncovers the networks of African American philosophers, community activists, schoolteachers, and literary artists who worked together to transmit black history and culture to the next generation. 410 0$aBlacks in the diaspora. 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChildren's literature, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAfrican American children$xBooks and reading 606 $aAfrican American children in literature 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aHarlem Renaissance 607 $aHarlem (New York, N.Y.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChildren's literature, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAfrican American children$xBooks and reading. 615 0$aAfrican American children in literature. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aHarlem Renaissance. 676 $a810.9/9282/0899607307471 700 $aSmith$b Katharine Capshaw$f1968-$01135773 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808965103321 996 $aChildren's literature of the Harlem Renaissance$94101115 997 $aUNINA
