{"product_id":"the-sleeper-wakes-marcy-knopf-newman-9780813519456","title":"The Sleeper Wakes: Harlem Renaissance Stories by Women","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn recent years there has been an explosion of interest in the art and culture of the Harlem Renaissance. Yet this significant collection is the first definitive edition of Harlem Renaissance stories by women. The writers include Gwendolyn Bennett, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Angelina Weld Grimké, Zora Neale Hurston, Nella Larsen, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, and Dorothy West. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished originally in periodicals such as \u003ci\u003eThe Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFire!!\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eOpportunity\u003c\/i\u003e, these twenty-seven stories have until now been virtually unavailable to readers. These stories are as compelling today as they were in the 1920s and 1930s. In them, we find the themes of black and white racial tension and misunderstanding, economic deprivation, passing, love across and within racial lines, and the attempt to maintain community and uplift the race.\u003cp\u003eMarcy Knopf's introduction surveys the history of the Harlem Renaissance, the periodicals and books it generated, and describes the rise to prominence of these women writers and their later fall from fame. She also includes a brief biography of each of the writers. Nellie Y. McKay's foreword analyzes the themes and concerns of the stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcy Knopf-Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813519454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813519456\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 04\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.08w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/1993 pg. 1496\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/1993 pg. 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/19\/1993","brand":"Marcy Knopf-Newman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994159579391,"sku":"9780813519456","price":38.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1b916c3-be53-4320-aefc-b7d8e8a6b0ca.jpg?v=1683328480","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sleeper-wakes-marcy-knopf-newman-9780813519456","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
