  • AFAM 233: A Study of the Harlem Renaissance through Literature, Music and Dance

    This course offers an interpretation of the Harlem Renaissance through literature, music, and dance. We will look at representative works of the artists of the renaissance. We will also read novels and short stories and discuss them as virtuoso performances by writers who capture, in theme and form, the improvisational spirit and energy of the renaissance. By examining landmark musicals like Shuffle Along, for example, we will be able to assess the impact, flowering, and acceptance of African American music and dance in this period.
