Coming of age during the hard Depression years and in the wake of the Great Migration, this generation of Black creative artists produced works of literature, music, and visual art fully comparable in distinction and scope to the achievements of the Harlem Renaissance. This highly informative and accessible work, enhanced with reproductions of paintings of the same period, examines Black Chicago's "Renaissance" through richly anecdotal profiles of such figures as Richard Wright, Gwendolyn Brooks, Margaret Walker, Charles White, Gordon Parks, Horace Cayton, Muddy Waters, Mahalia Jackson, and Katherine Dunham. Robert Bone and Richard A. Courage make a powerful case for moving Chicago's Bronzeville, long overshadowed by New York's Harlem, from a peripheral to a central position within African American and American studies. 000438347 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438347 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$xIntellectual life$$y20th century. 000438347 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$zIllinois$$zChicago$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000438347 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$zIllinois$$zChicago$$xHistory and criticism. 000438347 651_0 $$aChicago (Ill.)$$xIntellectual life$$y20th century. 000438347 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 000438347 7001_ $$aCourage, Richard A.,$$d1946- 000438347 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBone, Robert, 1924-2007.$$tMuse in Bronzeville.$$dNew Brunswick, N.J. : Rutgers University Press, 2011$$z9780813550435$$z9780813550442$$w(DLC) 2010045436$$w(OCoLC)681911817 000438347 8520_ $$bacq 000438347 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438347 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=858960$$zOnline Access 000438347 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438347$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438347 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438347 980__ $$aBIB 000438347 982__ $$aEbook 000438347 983__ $$aOnline
