Schuyler, one of the most important intellectuals of the Harlem Renaissance. A popular journalist in black America, Schuyler wielded a sharp, double-edged wit to attack the foibles of both blacks and whites throughout the 1920s. Jeffrey B. Ferguson presents a new understanding of Schuyler as public intellectual while also offering insights into the relations between race and satire during a formative period of African-American cultural history.Ferguson discusses Schuyler's controversial career and reputation and examines the paradoxical ideas at the center of his message. The author also addresses Schuyler's drift toward the political right in his later years and how this has affected his legacy. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life$y20th century 606 $aNovelists, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aConservatives$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aJournalists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American journalists$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American novelists$vBiography 606 $aHarlem Renaissance 607 $aHarlem (New York, N.Y.)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xIntellectual life 615 0$aNovelists, American 615 0$aConservatives 615 0$aJournalists 615 0$aAfrican American journalists 615 0$aAfrican American novelists 615 0$aHarlem Renaissance. 676 $a813/.52 676 $aB 700 $aFerguson$b Jeffrey B.$f1964-$01807334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953779203321 996 $aThe sage of Sugar Hill$94356988 997 $aUNINA
