When we thinkabout the suppression and the beat down ways we discussed before, wewill now experience writing that moves toward a rising passion inAmerica It s a passion that grew out of the pavement of the backstreetsof the USA, and it was a movement that soaked into the soul of a nation,through words and music.Think about how this period was made possible thanks to the efforts of writers who came before them. Think about this as the achievement of these writers and how they carved a path for those to follow. Really hear these writers. Read them aloud when they share a poem. Think about shifts in tone, style, theme, and rhythm, and its exciting change.The Harlem Renaissance The Harlem Renaissance marked an explosion of AfricanAmerican arts: writing, visual art, music, theater, andcritical-theoretical production. Some of the most influential artistsrose up from poverty to enjoy notoriety. The movement geographicalcenter was Chicago and Harlem, New York in the 1920s. This was a timewhen Broadway was booming and modernist art had great currency, both inthe United States and elsewhere. The Blues and Jazz were big influencesduring this period and we hear this influence in the work we will read.Zora Neale HurstonBorn to a Reverend father, Hurston lost her mother at the age ofnine, attended school very little, and petitioned her way throughprestigious schools until she won a scholarship to Barnard College, adivision of Columbia College. The story we will read The GildedSix-Bits was published in Story magazine. This publication caught theeye of an editor that urged her to write a novel, and her career waslaunched.Pay attention to the repetition, rhythm, and exciting word choicesHurston uses. It was a Negro yard around a Negro house in a Negrosettlement that looked to the payroll of the G. and G. Fertilizer worksfor its support is an example of repetition. The front yard was partedin the middle by a sidewalk from gate to door-step, a sidewalk edged is an example of great word choice with a repetitive beat as sidewalk serves up a nice visual for her reader.Consider how authentic the dialogue in this piece is as well: Whew!dat play-fight got me all worked up, Joe exclaimed. Got me some waterin de kittle (Bryant, 2010, p.64)? Think about why Hurston chose to dothis over simply saying, Got water in the kettle? Langston HughesLangston Hughes, a prolific and important artist ofthe Harlem Renaissance, shaped literary modernism. He wrote poems,plays, novels, short, stories, articles, and essays, and made apassionate effort to further the views about humanity and equality.Hughes, seen as both an acclaimed novelist and gifted poet, believedthat if poetry was to be an agent of social change it must appeal toblacks of all classes, not simply the upper reaches of the blackintelligentsia. The art the movement generated should draw on blackvernacular materials-jazz and folk tales and spirituals-in order togrant African Americans a sense of racial identity and shared experiencethat would prove a powerful political tool (Bryant, 2010, p. 85). Hispoem, The Weary Blues is shared with music on YouTube.com.Claude McKayClaude McKay , son of a Jamaican farmer, was an invited speakerabroad and poet/writer who contributed to literature and politicshelped to change American and international conceptions of race, class,and colonialism (Bryant, 2010, p. 92). His first novel, Home to Harlem,featured rare glimpse of African-American life, World War I realities,and a picturesque journey through the United States. Listen to ClaudeMcKay s America set to music and images on YouTube.com.Alice WalkerAlice Walker , best known for her novel and Steven Spielberg s film adaptation, The Color Purple,brought many issues to the forefront: race and gender oppression,physical and emotional abuse, relationships between individuals andamong families and communities (Bryant, 2010, p. 105). After losingsight in one eye from a childhood BB gun accident, she feared losing hersight in the other eye and began storing up images against the fadinglight (p. 105). In this YouTube.com video, she talks about the freedomrides to Gaza.Toni MorrisonToni Morrison , Nobel laureate and Pulitzer Prize-Winning author, isknown for her characterization, creative genius, thought-provokingstorytelling, and rhythmic prose. She is seen here speaking about her Society Bench by the Road Dedication project, which dedicates benchesalong the road to commemorate the history of African American people.She may be best known for her novel, The Bluest Eye.
