Critical writings by the father of Harlem radicalism .The brilliant writer, orator, educator, critic, and activist Hubert Harrison (1883 1927) is one of the truly important, yet neglected, figures of early twentiethcentury America. Known as the father of Harlem radicalism, and a leading Socialist party speaker who advocated that socialists champion the cause of the Negro as a revolutionary doctrine, Harrison had an important influence on a generation of race and class radicals, including Marcus Garvey and A. Philip Randolph.Harrison envisioned a socialism that had special appeal to AfricanAmericans, and he affirmed the duty of socialists to oppose racebased oppression. Despite high praise from his contemporaries, Harrison s legacy has largely been neglected. This reader redresses the imbalance; Harrison s essays, editorials, reviews, letters, and diary entries offer a profound, and often unique, analysis of issues, events and individuals of early twentiethcentury America. His writings also provide critical insights and counterpoints to the thinking of W. E. B. DuBois, Booker T. Washington and Marcus Garvey.The reader is organized thematically to highlight Harrison s contributions to the debates on race, class, culture, and politics of his time. The writings span Harrison s career and the evolution of his thought, and include extensive political writings, editorials, meditations, reviews of theater and poetry, and deeply evocative social commentary.
