In \u003ci\u003eSpectres of 1919\u003c\/i\u003e Barbara Foley traces the origins of this revolutionary era to the turbulent year 1919, identifying the events and trends in American society that spurred the black community to action and examining the forms that action took as it evolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eUnlike prior studies of the Harlem Renaissance, which see 1919 as significant mostly because of the geographic migrations of blacks to the North, \u003ci\u003eSpectres of 1919\u003c\/i\u003e looks at that year as the political crucible from which the radicalism of the 1920s emerged. Foley draws from a wealth of primary sources, taking a bold new approach to the origins of African American radicalism and adding nuance and complexity to the understanding of a fascinating and vibrant era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Barbara Foley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573164834998,"sku":"9780252091247","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780252091247_6c60fccd-b832-4cd9-9011-cfc141417b86.jpg?v=1726056066","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/spectres-of-1920","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
