Description
Summary:[...]because the Crisis attracted contributors and readers from well beyond Harlem and routinely addressed issues of migration, international relations, and global politics, the term "Harlem Renaissance" still seems too narrow to encompass the magazine's transnational scope, as well as its long duration, which continues to the present day. [...]through her use of previously under-utilized statistical measures and transnational periodicals, Lara Putnam invites us to shiftour perspective beyond U.S. borders, thus redirecting our attention to the cosmopolitan Caribbean as one of the new vantage points for understanding the international exchanges and global reach of black cultural production in the early decades of the twentieth century.
