Book Description
Lilian May Miller, the daughter of an American diplomat, was one of the few artists who succeeded in bridging the artistic and cultural gap between the U.S. and East Asia in the early decades of the 20th century. Trained in Japan in traditional painting styles and techniques, Miller created lyrical sketches, ink paintings, and woodblock prints of Japan and Korea. In particular, her woodblock prints, often made from blocks carved by Miller herself, won acclaim in Japan and the U.S. Between Two Worlds is a comprehensive survey of Miller's career and explores the artistic, cultural, and sociological motivations behind her work as a single, self-supporting female artist living in two cultures.

Eric Walrond
Author: James DavisPublisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231538618
Category : Biography & Autobiography

Pages : 439
Book Description
Eric Walrond (1898–1966) was a writer, journalist, caustic critic, and fixture of 1920s Harlem. His short story collection, Tropic Death, was one of the first efforts by a black author to depict Caribbean lives and voices in American fiction. Restoring Walrond to his proper place as a luminary of the Harlem Renaissance, this biography situates Tropic Death within the author's broader corpus and positions the work as a catalyst and driving force behind the New Negro literary movement in America. James Davis follows Walrond from the West Indies to Panama, New York, France, and finally England. He recounts his relationships with New Negro authors such as Countée Cullen, Charles S. Johnson, Zora Neale Hurston, Alain Locke, and Gwendolyn Bennett, as well as the white novelist Carl Van Vechten. He also recovers Walrond's involvement with Marcus Garvey's journal Negro World and the National Urban League journal Opportunity and examines the writer's work for mainstream venues, including Vanity Fair. In 1929, Walrond severed ties with Harlem, but he did not disappear. He contributed to the burgeoning anticolonial movement and print culture centered in England and fueled by C. L. R. James, George Padmore, and other Caribbean expatriates. His history of Panama, shelved by his publisher during the Great Depression, was the first to be written by a West Indian author. Unearthing documents in England, Panama, and the United States, and incorporating interviews, criticism of Walrond's fiction and journalism, and a sophisticated account of transnational black cultural formations, Davis builds an eloquent and absorbing narrative of an overlooked figure and his creation of modern American and world literature.
