Double Identity and Integration: a Study of African American Women's Novels During the Harlem Renaissance
by Xie Mei
About This Novel
The novels of representative female writers of the Harlem Renaissance, Jessie Redmon Fauset, Nella Larson, and Zora Neale Hurston, describe the unique experiences of new black women on race, gender, class, culture, etc. In the special historical context of the United States in the 1920s. They are a turning point in the writing of African American women's novels towards modernity, and build the writing tradition of modern African American women's novels. The 10 novels by three female writers demonstrate the differences, conflicts, collisions and integration of traditional African-American folk culture and mainstream American culture, embodying the themes of dual identity and integration, creative tendencies and cultural orientations. By analyzing the specific expressions of three female writers' writing of "blackness", "Americanness" and "civilizational commonality", this book shows African-American women's exploration of the practice of black and white racial cultural integration and their thinking about the relationship between the two cultures during this period.
