Additional Details

one of the key works of the harlem renaissance, edited by the acknowledged "godfather" of the movement. A magnificent anthology, that includes just about every one of the current writers. Portions of Jean Toomer's "Cane," "Spunk" by Zora Neale Hurston, plus poetry by Countee Cullen, Georgia Douglas Johnson, James Weldon Johnson and Claude McKay and others. Drama by Jessie Faucet and Willis Richardson; historical articles by Arthur Schomburg and Arthur Huff Faucet; artwork by Aaron Douglas and Miguel Covarrubias; music and poetry from Langston Hughes, and much more. The New Negro was published the same year as the Survey Graphic's "New Negro," with much the same design and layout. Once more frequently found, now quite scarce in acceptable condition.
