This phenomenon was most clearly manifest in the United States through the outpouring of Black arts and letters and social commentary known as the Harlem Renaissance. What is less known is how far afield of Harlem that renaissance flourished - how much the New Negro movement was actually just one part of a collective explosion of political protest, cultural expression, and intellectual debate all over the world. In this volume, the Harlem Renaissance "escapes from New York" into its proper global context. These essays recover the broader New Negro experience as social movements, popular cultures, and public behavior spanned the globe from New York to New Orleans, from Paris to the Philippines and beyond. This book does not so much map the many sites of this early twentieth-century Black internationalism as it draws attention to how New Negroes and their global allies already lived. Resituating the Harlem Renaissance, the book stresses the need for scholarship to catch up with the historical reality of the New Negro experience. This more comprehensive vision serves as a lens through which to better understand capitalist developments, imperial expansions, and the formation of brave new worlds in the early twentieth century. -- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record SUBJECT Universidad Sergio Arboleda gnd Subject Black people -- Race identity -- History -- 20th century African Americans -- Race identity -- History -- 20th century Black people -- Social conditions -- 20th century African Americans -- Social conditions -- 20th century Black people -- Intellectual life -- 20th century African Americans -- Intellectual life -- 20th century Harlem Renaissance -- Influence Harlem Renaissance -- Social aspects HISTORY -- United States -- General.
