Harlem Rhapsody

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of post-World War I America, Harlem becomes a vibrant hub of Black culture and pride, led by Jessie Redmon Fauset, the literary editor of The Crisis. Tasked by W.E.B. Du Bois to discover emerging talents, she champions young writers like Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes, elevating the magazine's prominence. However, Jessie's passionate affair with Du Bois complicates her ambitions, as she navigates the challenges of sexism and racism while striving for her own legacy in a male-dominated literary world.
