Meticulously researched and deeply insightful, The African American Roots of Modernism is an entirely fresh look at the role of African American literature and culture in the formation of American modernism. --Margo Natalie Crawford, Cornell University <br>


[Smethurst] reveals how the Jim Crow system triggered significant intellectual responses from Black American writers, deeply marking the beginnings of literary modernism and, ultimately, notions of American modernity. --<br>- The Courier
