Harlem Speaks A Living History of The Harlem Renaissance

"During the three decades that followed World War I, a stunning outburst of African American culture exploded in America and was eventually labeled the Harlem Renaissance. Essays written by experts in their individual fields examine the life and careers of the writers and poets, critics and political leaders, artists, performers and musicians of that time. Each essay will focus on the relationship of the subject to the Harlem Renaissance and to the development and expression of African American culture. The text is integrated with two full-length CDs featuring music, poetry and literary readings, poems translated into song, interviews, radio broadcasts, discussions and speeches. Among the seminal figures covered are: --Langston Hughes --Zora Neale Hurston --Countee Cullen --Wallace Thurman --Richard Wright --Bessie Smith --Paul Robeson --Louis Armstrong --Josephine Baker --Duke Ellington --W.E.B.
