Beschreibung:
Rachel Farebrother is lecturer in American Studies at the University of Swansea, UK.
Rachel Farebrother explores the recurrent collage aesthetic of the Harlem Renaissance in texts by Alain Locke, Zora Neale Hurston and Jean Toomer, in light of early twentieth-century discourses of anthropology, cultural nationalism and Euro-American modernism. Rich and wide-ranging in its attention to neglected transatlantic connections and to the particularities of African American experience, Farebrother's study offers us a fresh lens through which to view this crucial moment in American culture.
