He argues that diaspora is less a historical condition than a set of practices.$bA pathbreaking work of scholarship that will reshape our understanding of the Harlem Renaissance, The Practice of Diaspora revisits black transnational culture in the 1920's and 1930's, paying particular attention to links between intellectuals in New York and their Francophone counterparts in Paris. Brent Edwards suggests that diaspora is less a historical condition than a set of practices: the claims, correspondences, and collaborations through which black intellectuals pursue a variety of international alliances. Edwards elucidates the workings of diaspora by tracking the wealth of black transnational print culture between the world wars, exploring the connections and exchanges among New York-based publications (such as Opportunity , The Negro World , and The Crisis ) and newspapers in Paris (such as Les Continents , La Voix des Negres , and L'Etudiant noir ). In reading a remarkably diverse archive--the works of writers and editors from Langston Hughes, Rene Maran, and Claude McKay to Paulette Nardal, Alain Locke, W. E. B. Du Bois, George Padmore, and Tiemoko Garan Kouyate-- The Practice of Diaspora takes account of the highly divergent ways of imagining race beyond the barriers of nation and language. In doing so, it reveals the importance of translation, arguing that the politics of diaspora are legible above all in efforts at negotiating difference among populations of African descent throughout the world. 517 3 $aLiterature, translation, and the rise of Black internationalism 606 $aLiterature$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aParis (France)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 615 0$aLiterature$xBlack authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.8896/00904 700 $aEdwards$b Brent Hayes$01011834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247985203316 996 $aThe practice of diaspora$92346064 997 $aUNISA
