Beskrivning

Persuasively argues for a black Atlantic literary renaissance and its impact on modernist studiesThese 9 new chapters stretch current canonical configurations of modernism in two key ways: by considering the centrality of black artists, writers and intellectuals as key actors and core presences in the development of a modernist avant-garde; and by interrogating 'blackness' as an aesthetic and political category at critical moments during the early twentieth century. This is the first book-length publication to explore the term 'Afromodernisms' and the first study to address together the fields of modernism and the black Atlantic.Key Features:Sets a new agenda for the study of blackness and modernismOpening essay from Tyler Stovall on Black Modernism and an Afterword from Bill LawsonIdentifies key locations of modernism: Harlem, Paris and the CaribbeanAddresses the question of gender, often overlooked in black Atlantic scholarship

Convincingly demonstrates the ways in which the period under consideration helped "define the aesthetics and politics of the twentieth century, and through this [the collection] links the cognate fields of modernism and the black Atlantic"
