Review

"Intended for upper-high school and undergraduate students, "Harlem Renaissance" spans three volumes... Although much of the content is available elsewhere, including other publications from Gale, it is useful to have so much material brought together and presented in this particular context. The breadth and depth of "Harlm Renaissance" make it a valuable and unique reference source for acdemic, public, and high school libraries. A resource with a similar title, "Harlem Renaissance (UXL, 2000)," is better suited for younger audiences."
