"It's wonderful to have these well-chosen representatives of a vital and interesting movement"--David Ray, University of Missouri at Kansas City "[This edition] reissues Home to Harlem, presently out of print, and includes Quicksand in its entirety. That alone justifies its cost. The remaining selections are truly representative of the literary period. Editorial comments are excellent and lucid."--Judy Massey, Loyola University "Good choices of Harlem Renaissance prose fiction....The Harlem Renaissance glossary is a useful and timely addendum."--Brenda Marie Osbey, Loyola University "This superb collection will be an invaluable resource for teachers interested in expanding the canon of modern American literature."--Gregory Jay, University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee "An excellent selection of Harlem Renaissance authors. This will acquaint students with the era in a way that no other single literature text can."--James Robert Saunders, University of Toledo "A damn good text."--Anna M. Connlin, Spalding University "A much needed, much appreciated anthology on a pivotal period in American letters. It provides invaluable information."--Nikki Giovanni, Virginia Technical School "A useful introduction to the subject, and the literature contained in it is a most potent argument that one cannot be considered to have fluency in American culture, certainly American Letters, without knowledge of it."--Quarterly Black Review "It's wonderful to have these well-chosen representatives of a vital and interesting movement."--David Ray, University of Missouri at Kansas City "[This edition] reissues Home to Harlem, presently out of print, and includes Quicksand in its entirety.
