Produktbeschreibung

Makes a persuasive case for a black Atlantic literary renaissance & its impact on modernist studies

These 10 new chapters stretch and challenge current canonical configurations of modernism in two key ways: by considering the centrality of black artists, writers and intellectuals as key actors and core presences in the development of a modernist avant-garde; and by interrogating ''blackness'' as an aesthetic and political category at critical moments during the twentieth century. This is the first book-length publication to explore the term ''Afromodernisms'' and the first study to address together the cognate fields of modernism and the black Atlantic.

Key Features

• Sets a new agenda for the study of blackness and modernism
• Specially commissioned contribution from Tyler Stovall on Black Modernism and an Afterword from Demetrius Eudell on ''What to the Negro is Modernism?''
• Identifies key locations of modernism: Harlem, Paris, Haiti
• Addresses the question of gender, often overlooked in black Atlantic scholarship
