I remember reading Their Eyes Were Watching God in high school, but I think that's about it. If we did study it we certainly didn't go into depth.<br /><br />Maybe teaching these writings has become more popular with the extreme recent growth of other races in America like the Latin American and even Asian American populations. Perhaps we could someday begin undergoing another "renaissance" for a different race in the country?susanlhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131357022053362233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756292796580291035.post-65963700696783999542010-02-28T13:05:10.602-08:002010-02-28T13:05:10.602-08:00The only writer from the Harlem Renaissance that I...The only writer from the Harlem Renaissance that I remember learning about before college was Langston Hughes. This wasn't even in high school...it was in like 4th grade or something. Am I in the total minority due to being a business major, or has this movement become taught more and more in classes? <br /><br />Thanks for posting this.

Seeing how it was one of the landmark works of the New Negro Movement really puts everything into perspective. I guess it really legitimized African-American theater and placed them into roles outside of shoddy, burlesque parts. I understand why they would say it is a significant work, even calling it a harbinger of a strong movement.Lilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788992596159592630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5756292796580291035.post-23971698369564314092010-02-27T12:00:02.795-08:002010-02-27T12:00:02.795-08:00I really enjoy this timeline you found! It really ...I really enjoy this timeline you found! It really helps put everything in perspective and a lot of the writings and works in order. In the past, I've hardly been taught the New Negro literary movement alongside the historical events of the time. It just makes you wonder how much their literature is a product of their environment. I personally think it's all great either way.Lauren Kardoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15449764158729260632noreply@blogger.com
