From the Harlem and Southern Renaissances to postcolonial writing in the Caribbean,
Race and New Modernisms introduces and critically explores key issues and debates on race and ethnicity in the study of transnational modernism today.



Topics covered include:

Covering writers and artists such as Josephine Baker, W.E.B. Du Bois, T.S.
