Harlem Stomp!: A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance (National Book Award Finalist)

This Black History month, celebrate the Harlem Renaissance! This National Book Award Finalist takes a breathtaking, in-depth look at the art, poetry, and fiction that came out of one of America’s most culturally rich periods.

Determined to make a new start for themselves at the dawn of the twentieth century, many African Americans joined the Great Migration and headed North. For those who landed in Harlem, New York, it was a time of blossoming in art, literature, and politics. Influential African American artists and activists took center stage–and captured the attention of the world.

Lavishly designed and illustrated, with photographs, historical documents, and full-color paintings, this book is a time capsule of poetry, prose, and political rhetoric, introducing the amazing lives and work of notable figures such as Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Sargent Johnson, and Marcus Garvey
