During the Harlem Renaissance, Black music, literature, theater, fashion, and art all flourished. How did the novel incorporate each of these creative disciplines to evoke this time period and cultural movement?

I suppose I would say the disciplines were incorporated through Murray’s portrayal of the different characters if I understand the question.

The novel did an excellent job of portraying the history of the time. The culture and music was very interesting.

Victoria Christopher Murray wrote so clearly about the arts during this time, I could picture it in my mind. She talked about specific songs, dances, books, poetry and artwork and sometimes the effect these had on the generation. Reading her words encouraged me to look further into the times and discover more information that I wasn’t familiar with from my schooling.
