"Hemingway and the Black Renaissance"

"Hemingway and the Black Renaissance" refers to the interaction between the American author Ernest Hemingway and the cultural movement known as the Harlem Renaissance in the early 20th century. The Harlem Renaissance was a flourishing of African American art, literature, and music that celebrated Black culture. Hemingway, known for his distinct writing style and themes of struggle, was contemporaneous with this movement. His experiences and relationships with Black writers and artists, such as Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, influenced his perspective on race, identity, and artistic expression, contributing to a broader dialogue about culture in America.
