Spectres of 1919

Overview
A look at the violent \"Red Summer of 1919\" and its
intersection with the highly politicized New Negro movement and the
Harlem Renaissance
With the New Negro movement and the Harlem Renaissance, the
1920s was a landmark decade in African American political and
cultural history, characterized by an upsurge in racial awareness
and artistic creativity. In Spectres of 1919 Barbara Foley
traces the origins of this revolutionary era to the turbulent year
1919, identifying the events and trends in American society that
spurred the black community to action and examining the forms that
action took as it evolved.
Unlike prior studies of the Harlem Renaissance, which see 1919
as significant mostly because of the geographic migrations of
blacks to the North, Spectres of 1919 looks at that year
as the political crucible from which the radicalism of the 1920s
emerged. Foley draws from a wealth of primary sources, taking a
bold new approach to the origins of African American radicalism and
adding nuance and complexity to the understanding of a fascinating
and vibrant era.
