Read the Introduction.This is a rich portrait of a complex period that has been long neglected. — "Booklist""This is a vital reappraisal. These essays compellingly return to the often-neglected period known in African American history as 'The Nadir' to ensure that it will never again be seen as a cultural disappointment."— Carla Kaplan, author of "Zora Neale Hurston: A Life in Letters"The years between the collapse of Reconstruction and the end of World War I mark a pivotal moment in African American cultural production.

Using a wide range of disciplinary approaches, the sixteen scholars gathered here offer both a reappraisal and celebration of African American cultural production during these influential decades. Alongside discussions of political and artistic icons such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and James Weldon Johnson are essays revaluing figures such as the writers Paul and Alice Dunbar-Nelson, the New England painter Edward Mitchell Bannister, and Georgia-based activists Lucy Craft Laney and Emmanuel King Love.Contributors explore an array of forms from fine art to anti-lynching drama, from sermons to ragtime and blues, and fromdialect pieces and early black musical theater to serious fiction.Contributors include: Frances Smith Foster, Carla L.
