In The New Negro : The Life of Alain Locke, Jeffrey C. Stewart offers the definitive biography of the father of the Harlem Renaissance, based on the extant primary sources of his life and on interviews with those who knew him personally. He narrates the education of Locke, including his becoming the first African American Rhodes Scholar and earning a PhD in philosophy at Harvard University, and his long career as a professor at Howard University. Locke also received a cosmopolitan, aesthetic education through his travels in continental Europe, where he came to appreciate the beauty of art and experienced a freedom unknown to him in the United States. And yet he became most closely associated with the flowering of Black culture in Jazz Age America and his promotion of the literary and artistic work of African Americans as the quintessential creations of American modernism. In the process he looked to Africa to find the proud and beautiful roots of the race. Shifting the discussion of race from politics and economics to the arts, he helped establish the idea that Black urban communities could be crucibles of creativity. Stewart explores both Locke's professional and private life, including his relationships with his mother, his friends, and his white patrons, as well as his lifelong search for love as a gay man. Stewart's thought-provoking biography recreates the worlds of this illustrious, enigmatic man who, in promoting the cultural heritage of Black people, became--in the process--a New Negro himself"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Locke, Alain, $d 1885-1954. 600 10 $a Locke, Alain, $d 1885-1954 $x Political and social views. 600 17 $a Locke, Alain, $d 1885-1954. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01798922 650 0 $a African American philosophers $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American intellectuals $v Biography. 650 0 $a African American college teachers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Harlem Renaissance 650 0 $a African American arts $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x Social History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Composers & Musicians. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African American arts $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799021 650 7 $a African American college teachers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799112 650 7 $a African American intellectuals $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799204 650 7 $a African American philosophers $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799295 650 7 $a African Americans $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799627 650 7 $a Harlem Renaissance $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00951467 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 655 7 $a Biographies $2 lcgft 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stewart, Jeffrey C., 1950- $t New Negro. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2018 $z 9780199723317 $w (DLC) 2017026908 941 $a 28 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024958.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104015302.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214014752.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025734.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718093009.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013350.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060549.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323020103.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20200923010208.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014957.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110073604.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023650.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211013051.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191122025344.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20190907010045.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20190828010435.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20190813012247.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190726011831.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20190618010919.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190523010023.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190518010559.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20190418010829.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190202011248.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20190126010815.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113541.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180427010711.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403021725.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180210010032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2C4265E08AF11E8917D353297128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
