A Beautiful Pageant: African American Theatre, Drama and Performance in the Harlem Renaissance 1910-1927 Book

From 1910 to 1927, the Harlem Renaissance was the time when Harlem came alive with theater, drama, sports, dance, and politics. This was the time when the residents of northern Manhattan were leading their downtown counterparts at the vanguard of artistic ferment while at the same time playing a pivotal role in the evolution of Black nationalism. Looking at events as diverse as the prizefight between Jack Johnson and Jim White Hope Jeffries, the choreography of Aida Walker and Ethel Waters, the writing of Zora Neale Hurston and the musicals of the period, Krasner paints a vibrant portrait of the era. This is a thrilling piece of work, a classic destined to become the standard work on the Harlem Renaissance for years to come.Read More
