Literary icons Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston--whose lives and work continue to influence the world today--are just a few of the luminaries who arose out of this globally renowned literary period. Spanning from the beginning of World War I into the Great Depression, the Harlem Renaissance is associated with progressive social ideals, vibrant art and jazz music, and the rise of a distinct Black American culture that reverberated across the nation and around the world. This approachable guide gives you the full story, from the movement's origins to its legacy in culture and politics today.
