Abstract

""Soto is a clever and convincing reader of modernist prose and makes a fair case for the value of the generational model. [His book] beats notions of 'ages' or 'epochs', because it is organic and bridges individual and collective historiography, while also allowing for the non-contemporaneity of the contemporaneous, the coexistence of multiple generations in time and space."" -Modern Language Review ""[The Modernist Nation's] historical span is impressive, ranging from Ralph Waldo Emerson to James Baldwin. . . .

Abstract

In this provocative study, Michael Soto examines African American cultural forms through the lens of census history to tell the story of how U.S. officialdom-in particular the Census Bureau-placed persons of African descent within a shifting taxonomy of racial difference, and how African American writers and intellectuals described a far more complex situation of interracial social contact and intra-racial diversity. What we now call African American identity and the literature that gives it voice emerged out of social, cultural, and intellectual forces that fused in Harlem roughly one century ago. Measuring the Harlem Renaissance sifts through a wide range of authors and ideas-from W. E. B. Du Bois, Rudolph Fisher, and Nella Larsen to Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Wallace Thurman, and from census history to the Great Migration-to provide a fresh take on late nineteenth-and twentieth-century literature and social thought. Soto reveals how Harlem came to be known as the "cultural capital of black America," and how these ideas left us with unforgettable fiction and poetry.

Abstract

The test of time," an abundant literature, geographical expansiveness, artistry, and, more recently, inclusiveness represented by a complex awareness of gender and cultural diversity. These are key criteria used to determine entry into American literary canons and American literary histories. Scholars who specialize in indigenous oral literatures would doubtless claim that this literature fulfills all the criteria and thus deserves a major place in canon and history. For these readers, I could proceed directly to the main business of this chapter: an overview of how Native oral narratives, song, and ceremony have and will continue to challenge in constructive ways EuroAmerican concepts of authorship, context, genre, geographic and period designation, the functions of literature, and the importance of understanding how literature is experienced. But most American literature teachers and students have little knowledge of the magnitude and importance of the oral literatures. For these readers, it is appropriate to begin by establishing how this form of literature fulfills conventional expectations for inclusion in a twenty-first century literary history-and specifically inclusion as the grand opening entry to the narrative of our literature.
