Black Studies, Rap, and the Academy
Modernism and the Harlem Renaissance
Mr. Baker perceives the harlem as a crucial moment in a movement, predating the 1920's, when Afro-Americans embraced the task of self-determination and in so doing gave forth a distinctive form of expression that still echoes in a broad spectrum of 20th-century Afro-American arts. . . . Modernism and the Harlem Renaissance may well become Afro-America's 'studying manual.'--Tonya Bolden, New York Times Book Review
Blues, Ideology, and Afro-American Literature
Relating the to American social and literary history and to Afro-American expressive culture, Houston A. Baker, Jr., offers the basis for a broader study of American culture at its vernacular level. He shows how the blues voice and its economic undertones are both central to the American narrative and characteristic of the Afro-American way of telling it.
