This episode introduces the Harlem Renaissance as an important origin point for Black protest poetry in the city. During the early 20th century, African American artists in Harlem experienced a collective awakening comparable to the 15th-century Italian renaissance – an artistic and political resurgence that inspired many of the poets whom we’ll meet in this podcourse. In this episode, we set the scene with a brief introduction to the literary culture of the 20th century.
