Bright before us
Like a flame’
The New Negro: An Interpretation is a multidisciplinary collection of poetry, fiction, essays, criticism, art, and philosophy that come together to showcase Black agency in the arts and humanities. Upon its publication in 1925, it quickly became a bestseller. Edited by Alain Locke, known as the father of the Harlem Renaissance, this book is a powerful, provocative, and moving collection of writers who shaped the Harlem Renaissance movement and help us understand the development of African Americans in society.
Featuring works by Black writers such as Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen, and W. E. B. DuBois, Locke provides a vivid perspective on the evolving African American identity, highlighting their place in the changing sociocultural landscape of 1920s America.
