"Essays such as W. E. B. Du Bois's "Criteria of Negro Art," Langston Hughes's "The
Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," and George Schuyler' "The Negro-Art Hokum"--which
make respective cases for art as propaganda, the cultural distinctiveness of black
American art, and the absence of any fundamental differences between black and white
American art--lay bare some of the key disagreements that continue to animate debates
about the politics of representation. Marita Bonner's 1925 Crisis essay "On Being
Young, a Woman, and Colored," with its eloquent insistence that any examination of
the relationship between art and politics must attend to questions of sexuality and
gender, anticipates critical approaches developed by pioneering black feminists, including
Barbara Christian, Akasha (Gloria) Hull, Deborah E. McDowell, Claudia Tate, and Cheryl
A. Wall, from the 1970s. Indeed, an enduring tendency to sideline Bonner and other
black women writers in critical accounts of Harlem Renaissance debates about "art
or propaganda" signals the continuing salience of the black feminist project of "engendering
the Harlem Renaissance [by] undoing perimeters that exclude women and their writing""
; "The Harlem Renaissance was the most influential single movement in African American
literary history. The movement laid the groundwork for subsequent African American
literature, and had an enormous impact on later black literature world-wide. In its
attention to a wide range of genres and forms - from the roman à clef and the bildungsroman,
to dance and book illustrations - this book seeks to encapsulate and analyze the eclecticism
of Harlem Renaissance cultural expression. It aims to re-frame conventional ideas
of the New Negro movement by presenting new readings of well-studied authors, such
as Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes, alongside analysis of topics, authors,
and artists that deserve fuller treatment. An authoritative collection on the major
writers and issues of the period, A History of the Harlem Renaissance takes stock
of nearly a hundred years of scholarship and considers what the future augurs for
the study of 'the New Negro'."
