HARLEM RENAISSANCE & BEYOND, THE
This examination of current black literature deepens appreciation of black literary traditions and relates literary expression to social struggle. The spirit of Harlem and its people is evoked by excerpts from Hughes, Cullen and McKay. Selections from Brooks, Horne and Walker, with a discussion of "Native Son" by Richard Wright, illustrate changes in black literature after the Harlem Renaissance. These differences are related to changes wrought by the Depression and World War II. Contemporary black writers who deal with other themes explain their work and their feelings about black consciousness.
