| The Harlem Renaissance is in vogue. In recent
years it has increasingly attracted the attention of scholars, which
has led to the publication of a number of collections, anthologies,
biographies, and historical and literary studies of the movement
and the incorporation of several of its writers into the literary
canon. That popularity has spilled over into popular culture with
the Harlem Renaissance celebrated in theater productions, television
specials, and museum exhibits. Geneviève Fabre and Michel
Feith's collection of essays emerged from that growing interest.
The seventeen essays in their book represent a selection of papers
presented at a conference on the Harlem Renaissance that they organized
in Paris in 1998. |
