This is a new edition of the Choice Academic Title Award-winning volume first published by Facts on File in 2003. Critics are right to point out that it is somewhat overdue but it is an extremely timely and useful tool for helping us put into context the social and political unrest currently going on in America and the rest of the world. ( )History by itself is not my biggest turn on when it comes to reading but I like biographies. I especially like the ones about people who survive all kinds of personal and social injustice and then make it big anyway. That’s why this is one of my favorite books, for the stories it tells about people who had everything going against them, mostly just because of the color of their skin, but managed to shine anyway… even if some of them did have to die first. Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, W.E.B. Du Bois, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, and hundreds more from the Harlem Renaissance and Jazz Age are not just profiled in the book… they live in these pages. The first time I checked this book out was when a group of us open mic poets decided to put on a tribute to the Harlem Renaissance. We couldn’t do it without learning more about the people and the times. The encyclopedia gave us more than we bargained for. It brought to life the writers, the musicians, the lovers, the poets, the artists, the leaders, really everything and everybody. The way they lived from the heart and turned their struggles into straight-up winning situations is a major example of pure excellence in living.

Can't believe I'm the first to review this... Here's why I loved THIS book. The writing is superb. The passages are about 1-4 pages each, and they confront the reader with the snap, crackle and pop of concise, crisp journalistic prose. The authors have a knack for deepening knowledge while causing the reader to want to know even more about the topic... Fives Stars 5 Stars. Students so grateful to have this. The Harlem Renaissance Lives! EXCELLENT resource for anyone studying the Harlem Renaissance! There are so many great stories, facts, and photos... "...provides a wealth of information...The entries are clear, concise, and alphabetized, thereby making this reference source easy to use. Additionally, this is a thorough and rigorously comprehensive work...surprising and refreshing details...[a] useful text...This book is an enjoyable read."

This declaration of African-American independence became known as the Harlem Renaissance and this is a study of the era. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
