The Harlem Renaissance is a name ascribed to the cultural, social, and artistic mode occurring between 1919 and 1940 that defined many black Americans. While the majority of those engaged in this outpouring of expression were male, there was also considerable female participation. However, most of the scholarship on black women of this period has concentrated on literary or artistic achievements, omitting other contributions that women made. This very fine collection, edited by Bracks and Smith, brings together an array of essayists who focus on their subjects' roles as activists, educators, entrepreneurs, journalists, philanthropists, playwrights, professionals, or entertainers--and, of course, writers. There are more than 200 women profiled, which provides a depth and breadth that no other single monograph has achieved to date, thus rescuing many of these women from obscurity. Alphabetical entries range in length from one paragraph to several pages. The volume includes a chronology and an appendix of entrants' names organized by their various roles. These features, in addition to the bibliographic references, index, and a list of the volume's contributors, make for an arrangement that will be very useful to the researcher. This well-done encyclopedia provides many delightful surprises for anyone researching the Harlem Renaissance. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers.

Highlighting the accomplishments of black women who sought to create positive change after the end of WWI, this reference work includes representatives not only from the literary scene but also: Activists Actresses Artists Educators Entrepreneurs Musicians Political leaders Scholars By acknowledging the women who played vital--if not always recognized--roles in this movement, this book shows how their participation helped set the stage for the continued transformation of the black community well into the 1960s. To fully realize the breadth of these contributions, editors Lean'tin L. Bracks and Jessie Carney Smith have assembled profiles written by a number of accomplished academics and historians from across the country.
