Harlem Renaissance Artists and WritersSeries: Inspiring Collective BiographiesBy Wendy Hart Beckman DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews Harlem, New York in the early 1920's and 1930's was the backdrop for an outpouring exploration of black identity through music, writing, poetry and social commentary. This period in history became known as the Harlem Renaissance.

Author Wendy Hart examines the appeal of this era and the people who took part in it. James Weldon Johnson, Alain LeRoy Locke, Zora Neale Hurston, Bessie Smith, Aaron Douglas, Duke Ellington, Langston Hughes, Arna Bontemps, Countee Cullen, and Josephine Baker are profiled.Publication Date: 09/01/2013Copyright: 2014Pages: 112Trim Size: 6 x 9Illustrations: Illus. with color and black-and-white photographs and illustrationsGrade Level: 5–upAge Level: 10–upLC Number: 2012024601Lexile: 1080ATOS Reading Level: 8.4Dewey: 700.92FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book978-0-7660-4165-3$34.27$25.70eBook978-0-7660-5800-2$34.27$25.70 "…a good choice for helping middle school students get started in research, or to generally learn about this group."Essex County Association of School Librarians, October 24, 2013"The text is accurate and well written, and the short, but concise chapters provide information to young readers without overwhelming."TriState Young Adult Book Review Committee, March 2014"…an excellent source for students preparing reports on the Harlem Renaissance artists and writers detailed…"Book Buzz, February 2014 Loading… Other books in Inspiring Collective Biographies 1 Loading… Other books from the authors 1 Loading… eBook: 978-0-7660-5800-2 List Price: $34.27 Discount Price: $25.70 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 978-0-7660-4165-3 List Price: $34.27 Discount Price: $25.70 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
