104. Jean Toomer A short introduction to the writer, and study questions about Blood Burning Moon. http://www.rlc.dcccd.edu/annex/COMM/english/mah8420/JeanToomer.html

Jean Toomer (1894-1967) American writer Jean Toomer inspired many later Harlem Renaissance writers with his passionate and realistic portrayal of black life in the novel Cane (1923). Noted for its poetic and sensitive descriptions, Cane describes people frustrated by their conflicts with social customs and by psychological conflicts within themselves. Cane was published in 1923. A few "important" white people thought it was an extraordinary work. At a time when the best (or popular) novelists, poets, and publishers had fame not unlike the movie and rock stars of today. Toomer was himself of mixed ancestry, claiming a variety of European, African, and even Native American bloodlines. As a result, Toomer long struggled with the issue of race, both personally and professionally. As a man who could successfully "pass" for white, Toomer was a reluctant spokesperson for race conscious artists who were interested in celebrating "blackness." Instead, Toomer envisioned an American identity that would transcend race. Nevertheless, concerns with racial division inform his writing, often in a very specific manner.

It was hailed as a masterpiece, as a fresh voice from a very promising young writer. This publication also brought Toomer in contact with other black intellectuals. However, his spiritual quest took him away from race issues; he studied and converted to the spiritual thought of the Russian mystic Georgi Gurdjieff and spent his time lecturing on mystical doctrines.

109. THE HARLEM RENAISSANCE A brief overview of the literary movement, with a list of major book sources and hints on using other resources (many online) available through some university and other libraries. http://www.usc.edu/isd/archives/ethnicstudies/harlem.html

The Harlem Renaissance The Harlem Renaissance, a flowering of literature (and to a lesser extent other arts) in New York City during the 1920s and 1930s, has long been considered by many to be the high point in African American writing. It probably had its foundation in the works of W.E. B. Du Bois, influential editor of The Crisis from 1910 to 1934; DuBois believed that an educated Black elite should lead Blacks to liberation. He further believed that his people could not achieve social equality by emulating white ideals; that equality could be achieved only by teaching Black racial pride with an emphasis on an African cultural heritage. Although the Renaissance was not a school, nor did the writers associated with it share a common purpose, nevertheless they had a common bond: they dealt with Black life from a Black perspective. Among the major writers who are usually viewed as part of the Harlem Renaissance are Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Rudolph Fisher, James Weldon Johnson, and Jean Toomer. While the Renaissance is often thought of as solely a literary movement, some historians of the period also include

The Harlem Renaissance marked the first time that mainstream publishers and critics took African American literature seriously and that African American literature and arts attracted significant attention from the nation at large. Although it was primarily a literary movement, it was closely related to developments in African American music, theater, art, and politics. Beginnings African American literature and arts had begun a steady development just before the turn of the century. In the performing arts, black musical theater featured such accomplished artists as songwriter Bob Cole and composer J. Rosamond Johnson, brother of writer James Weldon Johnson. Jazz and blues music moved with black populations from the South and Midwest into the bars and cabarets of Harlem. In literature, the poetry of Paul Laurence Dunbar and the fiction of Charles W. Chesnutt in the late 1890s were among the earliest works of African Americans to receive national recognition. By the end of World War I the fiction of James Weldon Johnson and the poetry of Claude McKay anticipated the literature that would follow in the 1920s by describing the reality of black life in America and the struggle for racial identity.

African-American Theory and Criticism 1. Harlem Renaissance to the Black Arts Movement Perhaps the informing question in African-American literary criticism prior to the 1970s is the relation between the literary arts and developing conceptions of the nature of African-American culture. Many of the major critical texts from the first six decades of the twentieth century certainly advance our understanding of the nature of African-American literary production. Among these may be included Sterling Brown's The Negro in American Fiction (1937), Hugh Gloster's Negro Voices in American Fiction (1948), and Robert Bone's The Negro Novel in America (1958). For all the considerable value of their local insights, these works appear now to be methodologically outdated, relying too heavily on unreflective sociological or formalist perspectives. The best introduction to early African-American literary criticism is the pronouncements of writers themselves, rather than the critical surveys that sought to "interpret" African-American literature. Grounded in a representationalist and moralistic "reading" of literature dependent on a Christian humanist ideology, African-American literary criticism early in the twentieth century found its accents in a vision of cultural formation not significantly different from that of major Victorian literary critics (see
