Harlem Renaissance Link to Harlem Renaissance in Art Link 2 to Harlem Renaissance in Art Literary critics sometimes work within an analytical framework known as "new historicism." This is a way of investigating the relationship between a text and the historical context surrounding its production -- and not simply the "accepted" history of the time of the work, but all the events, pop culture and everything, that were taking place during the author's life and could have shaped his or her writing of the text. This link, to the Ferris University Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia, offers a good deal of this context for the works, like Cane, of the Harlem Renaissance.

"When I was a little kid in Oregon I didn't feel that I was an American at all, with all that suburban ideal and sex repression and general dreary newspaper gray censorship of all our real human values but and when I discovered Buddhism and all I suddenly felt that I had lived in a previous lifetime innumerable ages ago and now because of faults and sins in that lifetime I was being degraded to a more grievous domain of existence and my karma was to be born in America where nobody has any fun or believes in anything, especially freedom".
