Rachel Farebrother

The Collage Aesthetic in the Harlem Renaissance (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Rachel Farebrother explores the recurrent collage aesthetic of the Harlem Renaissance in texts by Alain Locke, Zora Neale Hurston and Jean Toomer, in light of early twentieth-century discourses of anthropology, cultural nationalism and Euro-American modernism. Rich and wide-ranging in its attention to neglected transatlantic connections and to the particularities of African American experience, Farebrother's study offers us a fresh lens through which to view this crucial moment in American culture.
