It was a period when the African-American came of age, with the clearest expression of this transformation visible in the remarkable outpouring of literature, art, and music. In these years the \"New Negro\" was born, as seen in the shift of black leadership from Booker T. Washington to that of W.E.B. Du Bois, from Tuskegee to New York, and for some, even to the African nationalism of Marcus Garvey.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In Voices from the Harlem Renaissance, Nathan Irvin Huggins provides more than 120 selections from the political writings and arts of the period, each depicting the meaning of blackness and the nature of African-American art and its relation to social statement. Through these pieces, Huggins establishes the context in which the art of Harlem Renaissance occurred. We read the call to action by pre-Renaissance black spokesmen, such as A. Philip Randolph and W.E.B. DuBois who--through magazines such as The Messenger (\"the only radical Negro magazine\"), and the NAACP's Crisis--called for a radical transformation of the American economic and social order so as to make a fair world for black men and women. We hear the more flamboyant rhetoric of Marcus Garvey, who rejected the idea of social equality for a completely separate African social order. And we meet Alain Locke, whose work served to redefine the \"New Negro\" in cultural terms, and stands as the cornerstone of the Harlem Renaissance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Huggins goes on to offer autobiographical writings, poetry, and stories of such men and women as Langston Hughes, Nancy Cunard, Helen Johnson, and Claude McKay--writings that depict the impact of Harlem and New York City on those who lived there, as well as the youthfulness and exuberance of the period. The complex question of identity, a very important part of the thought and expression of the Harlem Renaissance, is addressed in work's such as Jean Toomer's Bona and Paul and Zora Neale Hurston's Sweat. And Huggins goes on to attend to the voices of alienation, anger, and rage that appeared in a great deal of the writing to come out of the Harlem Renaissance by poets such as George S. Schuyler and Gwendolyn Bennett. Also included are over twenty illustrations by such artists as Aaron Douglas whose designs illuminated many of the works we associate with the Harlem Renaissance: the magazines Fire and Harlem; Alain Locke's The New Negro; and James Weldon Johnson's God's Trombones.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The vitality of the Harlem Renaissance served as a generative force for all New York--and the nation. Offering all those interested in the evolution of African-American consciousness and art a link to this glorious time, Voices from the Harlem Renaissance illuminates the African-American struggle for self-realization.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49547659936017,"sku":"GOR007912832","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49709879656721,"sku":"CIN0195093607G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49789159932177,"sku":"CIN0195093607VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999775756561,"sku":"NIN9780195093605","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0195093607.jpg?v=1750843475"},{"product_id":"nat-turner-book-terry-bisson-9780717285563","title":"Nat Turner","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49797866160401,"sku":"CIN0717285561G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49810921849105,"sku":"CIN0717285561A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0717285561.jpg?v=1751137690"},{"product_id":"black-odyssey-book-nathan-irvin-huggins-9780679728146","title":"Black Odyssey","description":"This classic work of scholarship and empathy tells the story of the self-creation of the African-American people. It assesses the full impact of the Middle Passage -- the most traumatizing mass human migration in modern history -- and of North American slavery both on the enslaved and on those who enslaved them. It explores the ways in which a nominally free society perverted its own freedoms and denied the fact that an inhuman institution lies at the heart of the American experience. The authority and eloquence of this work make it essential reading for all who want to understand the American past and present.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50026093314321,"sku":"CIN0679728147G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50316264276241,"sku":"CIN0679728147A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005542498577,"sku":"NIN9780679728146","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51397510103313,"sku":"GOR007688711","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0679728147.jpg?v=1751435157"},{"product_id":"harlem-renaissance-book-nathan-irvin-huggins-9780195016659","title":"Harlem Renaissance","description":"A finalist for the 1972 National Book Award, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as \"brilliant\" and \"provocative,\" Nathan Huggins' Harlem Renaissance is a milestone in the study of African-American life and culture.  A superb portrait of one of the signal episodes in African-American and American history, this volume offers a brilliant account of the creative explosion in Harlem during these pivotal years. Blending the fields of history, literature, music, psychology, and folklore, Huggins illuminates the thought and writing of such key figures as Alain Locke, James Weldon Johnson, and W.E.B. DuBois and provides sharp-eyed analyses of the poetry of Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, and Langston Hughes. But the main objective for Huggins, throughout the book, is always to achieve a better understanding of America as a whole. As Huggins himself noted, he didn't want Harlem in the 1920s to be the focus of the book so much as a lens through which readers might see how this one moment in time sheds light on the American character and culture, not just in Harlem but across the nation. He strives throughout to link the work of poets and novelists not only to artists working in other genres and media but also to economic, historical, and cultural forces in the culture at large.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50095922708753,"sku":"CIN0195016653G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50096900178193,"sku":"CIN0195016653VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50097880760593,"sku":"CIN0195016653A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50157641924881,"sku":"GOR004943179","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0195016653.jpg?v=1751290541"},{"product_id":"slave-and-citizen-book-nathan-irvin-huggins-9780673393425","title":"Slave and Citizen","description":"Portrays the life of the fugitive slave, abolitionist, and diplomat, paying attention to the meaning of freedom in America during the Civil War era and Douglass' significance to the struggle for human and civil rights.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50101670576401,"sku":"CIN0673393429G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51694660321553,"sku":"CIN0673393429VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0673393429.jpg?v=1750815984"},{"product_id":"key-issues-in-the-afro-american-experience-book-nathan-irvin-huggins-9780155483729","title":"Key Issues in the Afro-American Experience","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50345903390993,"sku":"CIN0155483722A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0155483722.jpg?v=1750812319"},{"product_id":"key-issues-in-the-afro-american-experience-book-nathan-irvin-huggins-9780155483712","title":"Key Issues in the Afro-American Experience","description":"Brings together 27 essays - 24 written specifically for these volumes - on critical issues of the black American experience.
