• The Harlem Renaissance, known also as the New Negro Movement and the Negro Renaissance, was an important cultural manifestation of the mid-twenties and thirties. • With Harlem as its center, the Renaissance was an upsurge of new racial attitudes and ideals on the part of Afro-Americans and an artistic and political awakening. • It was partly inspired by the iconoclastic spirit of the times. • The Harlem writers and artists were, like their Modernist white counterparts, in quest of new forms, images, and techniques. • They, too, were skeptical and disillusioned. • What chiefly differentiated them, however, was their view of artistic endeavor as an extension of the struggle against oppression

Historical Roots The historical roots of the Harlem Renaissance are complex. In part, they lay in the vast migration of African Americans to northern industrial centers that began early in the century and increased rapidly as World War I production needs and labor shortages boosted job opportunities. In addition to industrial jobs in northern cities, World War I offered blacks the opportunity to serve in the military, although in segregated military units.

Influences on Literary Phase Against the background of increasingly artistic activity, three events occurred between 1924 and 1926 that launched the already developing literary phase of the Harlem Renaissance into the forefront: 1. Charles S. Johnson’s Civic Club dinner, which forged the link among three major players in the literary renaissance: the black literary-political intelligentsia, white publishers and critics, and young black writers. 2. The publication in 1926 of Nigger Heaven, by white novelist Carl Van Vechten. This book was a spectacularly popular expose of Harlem life and helped create the “Negro Vogue” that drew thousands of sophisticated New Yorkers to Harlem’s exotic nightlife. 3. The publication of the literary magazine FIRE!! A group of talented young black writers were spearheaded by Wallace Thurman. These artists were declaring their intent to assume ownership of the literary renaissance.
