This book is the first to focus a bright light on the life and early career of George S. Schuyler, one of the most important intellectuals of the Harlem Renaissance. A popular journalist in black America, Schuyler wielded a sharp, double-edged wit to attack the foibles of both blacks and whites throughout the 1920s. Jeffrey B. Ferguson presents a new understanding of Schuyler as public intellectual while also offering insights into the relations between race and satire during a formative period of African-American cultural history.
Ferguson discusses Schuyler’ s controversial career and reputation and examines the paradoxical ideas at the center of his message. The author also addresses Schuyler’ s drift toward the political right in his later years and how this has affected his legacy.
