الإنجليزية - الإنجليزية

تعريف harlem renaissance في الإنجليزية الإنجليزية القاموس.: or New Negro Movement Period of outstanding vigour and creativity centred in New York's black ghetto of Harlem in the 1920s. Its leading literary figures included Alain Locke (1886-1954), James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Jean Toomer, Wallace Thurman (1902-34), and Arna Bontemps. The literary movement, which coincided with the great creative and commercial growth of jazz and a concurrent growth of the visual arts (see Aaron Douglas), altered the character of much African American literature. Dialect works and conventional imitations of white writers were replaced with sophisticated explorations of black life and culture; post-World War I period of renewal and prosperity in Black culture literature and music (began in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem); a period in the 1920s when African-American achievements in art and music and literature flourished
