Description: Look for Me All Around You by Louis J.

FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Interdisciplinary in scope, this anthology redresses the undue neglect of Anglophone Caribbeans - almost 25 percent of the black population in Harlem in 1920 - and their pivotal role in the literary, cultural, and political events shaping the Harlem Renaissance. The poetry, fiction, drama, and essays included explore a variety of issues, such as the increasing emphasis on race and image building, the development of a black aesthetic, progressive politics, and the struggle to define the status of blacks in America. Both the literary and political works show the spirit of the New Negro, one emphasizing racial pride and aesthetic consciousness. Examined closely are the black and Carribean American figures involved in the black nationalism movement, socialist groups, and trade unions, including such prominent figures as Marcus Carvey and his two wives, Amy Ashwood and Amy Jacques Garvey, Hubert Harrison, W. A. Domingo, and Frank Crosswaith. Also explored are the developing communist movements as manifested in the writings of Cyril Briggs, Richard B. Moore, Otto Huiswoud, and George Padmore. Essays review the crucial literary contributions of Claude McKay, Eric Walrond, and dramatist Eulalie Spence, as well as historians Arthur Schomburg and J. A. Rogers. This anthology of writers, with accompanying discussions about their works placed in the context of their own time, will be of interest to anyone examinino the Harlem Renaissance and the larger black and Caribbean contribution to cultural and political thinking. Author Biography Louis J. Parascandola is associate professor of English at Long Island University and author of Winds Can Wake up the Dead: An Eric Wairond Reader (Wayne State University Press, 1998) Review Against the background of the complex social tensions of the times, Parascandolas text offers a comprehensive and timely reminder of the multi-faceted contribution of a marginalized community to the most significant cultural and ideological event in New York Citys history. Of special interest are accounts of the achievements of lesser-known voices and organs of social activism. Yet again, Parascandola extends the Harlem pantheon to acknowledge the pivotal role of Caribbean artists and intellectuals."--Carl Wade "University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados" Promotional This anthology is the first to fully integrate the political and literary writings of Anglophone Caribbean authors in the Harlem Renaissance.
