Aberjhani A JOY TO READ AND STUDY THIS RENAISSANCE

(Betyg 5 av 5)

A reader can open this fantastic book to just about any page and see immediately why this title, by celebrated author Aberjhani and Rutgers University instructor Sandra L. West, has been recognized with major awards and increasing critical acclaim. Other books on the Harlem Renaissance tend to dance around certain subjects considered too sensitive for a serious book of history but this one does not and for that reason comes out squarely on top. It not only brings to life the ideas, places, and events that gave us the worldwide cultural movement of the 1920s and 1930s known as the Harlem Renaissance but its heroes, heroines, and villains in all of their faults and glory. Langston Hughes, Josephine Baker, Moms Mabley, Duke Ellington, W. E. B. Du Bois, Louie Armstrong, Elizabeth Catlett, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Bruce Nugent, and many many more make the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE one truly absorbing, remarkable and satisfying read.
