Edited by the first African American Rhodes Scholar, this landmark
anthology of fiction, poetry, essays, drama, music, and illustration is
widely regarded as the key text of the Harlem Renaissance. Exploring
social, political, and artistic change, the works include Locke's
titular tract, as well as contributions by Langston Hughes, Zora Neale
Hurston, Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, James Weldon Johnson, and other
luminaries.
