- Description
- Writers of the Harlem Renaissance generally fall into 'folk,' 'bourgeois,' or 'proletarian' aesthetic categories. Jones argues that all three aesthetics influence the historically mislabeled works of Zora Neale Hurston, Dorothy West, and Jessie Fauset, and that they share a drive to challenge racial, class, and gender oppression. The book also discusses the writers in relation to contemporary African American women authors.
