HIST 116 PZ -The Transatlantic History of the Harlem Renaissance

Institution: Pitzer

Description: The Harlem Renaissance is understood to be a flowering of literature, song, music, poetry, and intellectual thought produced by African-Americans during the decade of 1919-1929. This course will extend the historical needle back to the roots of the Harlem Renaissance - the first Pan-African Conference in 1900 held in London and organized by W.E.B. Du Bois and Anna Julia Copper. Leading figures like these would usher in the world, mood, and tone of the Harlem Renaissance that included a Transatlantic network with African-Americans who had left the United States for Paris to escape the bondage of prejudice.
