Attribution
edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Gene Andrew Jarrett
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2007

Nothing less than a strategy to re-create the public face of “the race,” the New Negro became a dominant figure of racial uplift between Reconstruction and World War II, as well as a central idea of the Harlem, or New Negro, Renaissance.
