AMST 409 - Senior Seminar:Harlem Renaissance Revisited

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

At some point in studies of U.S. history, students are at least briefly introduced to the cultural movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. Yet few know that this "Renaissance" represents only one small piece of a much larger New Negro Movement. In this class, the more well-known literary and visual art expressions of Harlem are situated within a wider spectrum of social movements and popular cultures of film, music, sports, and public behavior that spanned the globe from Harlem to Chicago, from Paris to Port au Prince. This more comprehensive vision of the New Negro Movement serves as a lens through which to better understand U.S. national identity, urbanization processes, industrial capitalist developments, and imperial expansion in the early 20th century. 1.00 units, Seminar
