The new Negro : readings on race, representation, and African American culture, 1892-1938
When African American intellectuals announced the birth of the 'New Negro' around the turn of the twentieth century, they were attempting through a bold act of renaming to change the way blacks were depicted and perceived in America. This book collects more than one hundred canonical and essays published between 1892 and 1938.
