Temples for Tomorrow – Looking Back at the Harlem Renaissance
Autor Geneviève Fabre, Michel Feithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 sep 2001
This collection attempts to assess Harlem's role as a Black Mecca, as site of intimate performance of African American life, and as focal point in the creation of a diasporic identity in dialogue with the Caribbean and French-speaking areas.
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.
Also included are known Renaissance intellectuals and writers. Even though they had different conceptions of the role of the African American artist in a racially segregated society, most participants in the New Negro movement shared a desire to express a new assertiveness in terms of literary creation and indentity-building.
