Black Bostonians and the Politics of Culture, 1920-1940

In the 1920s and 1930s Boston became a rich and distinctive site of African American artistic production, encompassing literature, theatre, music, and visual art. Owing to the ephemeral nature of much of this work, many of the era's primary sources have been lost. Lorraine E. Roses employs archival sources and personal interviews to recover this artistic output.
