Summary

“Do we really need another book on the Harlem Renaissance?” Before the editors of this volume could begin to curate and frame this rich collection of work, they had first to answer that vexing (and flatfooted) question asked by one of their colleagues. I confess to having asked myself a similar flatfooted question when they invited me to provide an afterword to the volume: “What is left to say about the Harlem Renaissance?” Now that I have read all the chapters here, I can answer these two questions without equivocation: Yes, we do need another volume and, yes, there is plenty left to say, even when this volume has made its way into print.
