The present collection of essays by European and American scholars gives a fresh perspective by using sources made available only in recent years, highlighting Toomer's bold experimentations, as well as his often ambiguous responses to the questions of his time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Some of the essays achieve this through close readings of the text, leading to new and challenging interpretations of Toomer's transcendence of genres and styles. Others show how the publication of \u003ci\u003eCane\u003c\/i\u003e and his later writings placed Toomer at the heart of contemporary ideological and artistic debates: race and identity, the negro writer and the white literary world, primitivism and modernism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Genevi钁e Fabre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813528461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813528465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2001 pg. 115","brand":"Genevi钁e Fabre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926403088639,"sku":"9780813528465","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4a7465b2-ba8f-457c-b489-a37a891eb0bf.jpg?v=1681082892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jean-toomer-harlem-renaissance-genevive-fabre-9780813528465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
