Afromodernisms: Paris, Harlem and the Avant-Garde
Fionnghuala Sweeney
This book stretches and challenges current canonical configurations of modernism by considering the centrality of black artists, writers and intellectuals as core presences in the development of a modernist avant-garde; and by interrogating 'blackness' as an aesthetic and political category at critical moments during the twentieth century.
