It was a dazzling time when there was an outpouring of the arts of African Americans--the poetry of Langston Hughes; the novels of Zora Neale Hurston; the sculptures of Augusta Savage and that brand-new music called jazz as only Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong could play it. Author Sherri Smith traces Harlem's history all the way to its seventeenth-century roots, and explains how the early-twentieth-century Great Migration brought African Americans from the deep South to New York City and gave birth to the golden years of the Harlem Renaissance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith 80 fun black-and-white illustrations and an engaging 16-page photo insert, readers will be excited to read this latest addition to Who HQ!","brand":"Penguin Workshop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45088351551639,"sku":"9780593225912","price":1644.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780593225912.webp?v=1767641590","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/what-was-the-harlem-renaissance-9780593225912","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
