The Harlem Renaissance is considered to be a moment of creative exuberance. This title atempts to assess Harlem’s role as a Black Mecca of African-American life, and as a focal point in the creation of a diasporic identity. Also included are known Renaissance intellectuals and writers. Essays treat the complex interweaving of Primitivism and Modernism, of folk culture and elitist aspirations in different artistic media, with a view to defining the interaction between music, visual arts and literature.
