Description

This dissertation reconstructs a debate among African-American intellectuals associated with the Harlem Renaissance (especially W.E.B. Du Bois, Alain Locke, Jean Toomer, Sterling Brown, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston) over the formalization of the African-American spirituals--a crucial cultural inheritance from the era of slavery--for the concert stage. The controversy over the future of the spirituals helped crystallize divergent perspectives toward the aesthetic ideals of the "New Negro" movement (articulated by Alain Locke, its philosophical spokesman) and the alignment of a black-coded folk nationalist ideal in art with dominant European standards of formal concert music.
