Great Migration (1919 to 1970)
The relocation of about 6 million African Americans from the rural South to the North to escape unfair laws and attitudes. Following the end of Reconstruction in 1876, there was a surge in white supremacy attitudes, resulting in the Jim Crow laws. African Americans were largely limited to sharecropping as a way to survive. In the industrial North, African Americans had better access to opportunities, and many people chose to move to cities such as Chicago and New York.
Harlem Renaissance
A truly American movement. It took place during the Modernist Period and is perhaps the only truly original American art form. Many African Americans migrated to Harlem during the Great Migration because of an abundance of housing in that area. Among those who settled to Harlem were many talented artists and entrepreneurs. Art, music, and literature celebrated African American culture andbecame a way to express ideas related to civil rights. Writers such as Langston Hughes, a poet, and Richard Wright, a novelist, had significant impact on the Harlem Renaissance. They wrote about African American life, racism, and identity in America.
Feminist Theory
A critical approach that analyzes the representation of women in literature. The feminist approach to literature came into effect in the late 60s and 70s in response to a growing need of women to find their place and power. It is a rejection of the paternal/male centric power system and attempts to view literature from a woman’s perspective to protect a woman’s rights and place in the world.
Existentialism
The philosophy asserting that people’s fates are determined by free will. See the video below for more information.
