During this time, African American innovators working across the landscape of the arts set the stage for an intellectual flowering that redefined black cultural life. Richard A. Courage and Christopher Robert Reed have brought together essays that explore the intersections in the backgrounds, education, professional affiliations, and public lives and achievements of black writers, journalists, visual artists, dance instructors, and other creators working in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 00Organized chronologically, the chapters unearth transformative forces that supported the emergence of individuals and social networks dedicated to work in arts and letters. The result is an illuminating scholarly collaboration that remaps African American intellectual and cultural geography and reframes the concept of urban black renaissance"--Publisher's description Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from resource home page (ProQuest Ebook Central, viewed February 12, 2021) Subject African American arts -- Illinois -- Chicago -- 20th century African Americans -- Illinois -- Chicago -- Intellectual life -- 20th century Arts and society -- Illinois -- Chicago -- History -- 20th century SOCIAL SCIENCE -- General.
