Many of the issues considered during the Harlem Renaissance, inequality, lack of opportunity, harrassment, racialism and so forth are still challenging us today. There are folks putting together a current issue of The Oxford Handbook of the Harlem Renaissance which will offer both scholars and students a survey of the most recent research animating the Harlem Renaissance. The collection will bring together voices committed to positioning the Harlem Renaissance as both a US-based and transnational movement, situating African American literature, culture, and intellectual history in broader transregional and global contexts. Interested in contributing? Please contact yolanda.mackey@stonybrook.edu
