Synopsis
Baker perceives the Harlem Renaissance as a crucial moment in a movement, predating the 1920's, when Afro-Americans embraced the task of self-determination and in so doing gave forth a distinctive form of expression that still echoes in a broad spectrum of 20th-century Afro-American arts.

From the Back Cover
'Mr. Baker perceives the Harlem Renaissance as a crucial moment in a movement, predating the 1920's, when Afro-Americans embraced the task of self-determination and in so doing gave forth a distinctive form of expression that still echoes in a broad spectrum of 20th- century Afro-American arts...

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: fine. First edition. First printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. xviii+ 122 pp. with index. Illustrations. The movement of the 1920s known as the Harlem Renaissance has often been discussed for its supposed failure to produce "modern" art on the order of the British and Anglo-American works of the same period. The author eloquently disputes this view and elaborates a notion of distinctvely Afro-American modernism, In doing so, he develops a new way of looking at, and listening to, black creativity in America.
