Synopsis

"This anthology succeeds in liberating New Negro studies from Harlem and its traditional temporal, gender, and class confines."--Journal of African American History
"This collection of essays registers the polyvalent, internationalist, and coalition-building character of the New Negro movement more comprehensively than any other text to date. Escape from New York is essential reading for those who study and teach black modernism, black internationalism, and the Harlem Renaissance."--Cultural Critique
