Short introduction but packed with information about the historical, social, and cultural contexts, the various intellectuals, writers, and artists, and the key literary and social events. Equally important are its interesting discussions of the tensions, conflicts, and qualifications around the phenomenon of the Harlem Renaissance, or to give it its earlier name, the New Negro Renaissance. Women writers and artists are restored to their rightful place.
