Studies the role satire played in the movement known as the "New Negro", or Harlem, Renaissance from 1919 to 1940. The book opens by analysing the historical, political, and cultural circumstances that allowed for the "New Negro" in general and African American satire in particular to flourish in the 1920s. Each subsequent chapter then introduces the major satirists within the larger movement by placing each author's career in a broader cultural context.
