"All scholars researching the canonized texts of the Harlem Renaissance should read and critically align this study with other historical and cultural work discussing the period. Recommended."--Choice
"An indispensable book for Toomer scholars and a heavyweight assessment of the politics of the Harlem Renaissance."--Journal of American Studies
"Barbara Foley's contribution to Toomer studies newly places him in the contexts of both early twentieth-century Left politics and 'New Negro' sensibility. Any assessment of the Harlem Renaissance is made all the richer by Foley's study, with which subsequent scholarship must contend."--Nathan Grant, author of Masculinist Impulses: Toomer, Hurston, Black Writing, and Modernity
