David Levering Lewis Orden de los libros (cronológico)

Lewis charts the second half of Du Bois's career, from the end of World War I on.

From its beginnings in 1919, with soldiers returning from the Great War, to its sputtering end in 1934, with the Great Depression, the New Negro Movement in arts and letters proclaimed the experience of African American men and women. This magnificent volume features a wealth of fiction and nonfiction works by 45 writers from that exuberant era.

A founder of the NAACP, a brilliant scholar and writer, Du Bois was a towering and controversial personality--a fiercely proud individual blessed with the language of the poet and the agitator's impatience. This book tracks the evolution of Du Bois' thinking and his tireless battles against racism. Photo inserts.
