A finalist for the 1972 National Book Award, hailed by The New York Times Book        Review as "e;brilliant"e; and "e;provocative,"e; Nathan Huggins' Harlem Renaissance was a        milestone in the study of African-American life and culture. Now this classic        history is being reissued, with a new foreword by acclaimed biographer Arnold        Rampersad.As Rampersad notes, "e;Harlem Renaissance remains an indispensable guide to        the facts and features, the puzzles and mysteries, of one of the most provocative        episodes in African-American and American history."e; Indeed, Huggins offers a        brilliant account of the creative explosion in Harlem during these pivotal years.          Blending the fields of history, literature, music, psychology, and folklore, he        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.This superb reissue of Harlem        Renaissance brings to a new generation of readers one of the great works in        African-American history and indeed a landmark work in the field of American        Studies.
