Ulla Haselstein
Information for students
Please note: This course will be held in-person (on campus).
Comments
The Harlem Renaissance is a period of African American literature and art in which writers, visual artists, and Jazz musicians created new forms and and formats to bring together elements of African and Western artistic traditions. They articulated the difference of African American cultural identity from the white mainstream and criticized the institutionalized racism and social inequalities of contemporary American society.
We will begin by discussing W.E.B. DuBois's Souls of Black Folk and contrast it with Alain Locke's famous anthology The New Negro. We will discuss novels by Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larsen, and Claude McKay, poetry by Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Jean Toomer, painitings by Aaron Douglas, sculpture by Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, photographs by James Van der Zee, and music by Louis Armstrong and Paul Robeson.
