Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Richard Durham's involvement with the Works Progress Administration's (WPA) Illinois Writers' Project (IWP). Created by the federal government in 1935, the WPA funded construction and other public works projects, as well as programs for writers, musicians, and theater and visual artists. By the time Durham applied to the WPA, several of his poems had been published in the Chicago Defender newspaper, as well as in Youth and New Masses magazines. Under Arna Bontemps's supervision, the IWP undertook The Negro In Illinois study, a comprehensive examination of black life throughout the state. In 1941, Durham met Clarice Davis, and they married on June 19, 1942. He also began writing scripts for the WMAQ radio station's weekly program called Art for Our Sake, renamed At the Foot of Adams Street in February 1943.

Abstract:

This introductory chapter provides an overview of the Federal Music Project (FMP). Initiated in 1935 as a part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal plan for fiscal recovery, the FMP composed one of several cultural programs—designated Federal Project Number One, or Federal One—of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). California and dozens of other states reaped the benefits of New Deal music—including the employment of performance groups, music teachers, folksong collectors, and others—for nearly eight years. Indeed, federal funding continued well after the United States entered World War II, providing musical entertainment for the military troops through the summer of 1943. By January 1936, music programs were being presented in larger metropolitan areas; by September of the next year, the FMP was operating in forty-two of the forty-eight states.

Abstract:

Drawing from narratives of former slaves to provide accurate and poignant insights, this book presents descriptions in the former slaves’ own words about their lives before, during, and following the Civil War. Examining narratives allows us to better understand what life was truly like for slaves: “hearing” history in their own words brings the human aspects of slavery and their interpersonal relationships to life, providing insights and understanding not typically available via traditional history books. How the Slaves Saw the Civil War: Recollections of the War through the WPA Slave Narratives draws upon interviews collected largely during the 1930s 1940s as part of the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Because most slaves could not read or write, their perspective on the unfolding history of the war has been relatively unknown until these narratives were collected in the 1930s and 1940s. This book extracts the most cogent and compelling tales from the documentation of former slaves’ seldom-heard voices on the events leading up to, during, and following the war. The work’s two introductory chapters focus on the WPA’s narratives and living conditions under slavery. The remaining chapters address key topics such as slave loyalties to either or both sides of the conflict, key battles, participation in the Union and/or Confederate armies, the day Union forces came, slave contact with key historical figures, and emancipation and what came after.

Abstract:

The volume explores 1930s African American writing to examine Black life, culture, and politics to document the ways Black artists and everyday people managed the Great Depression's economic impact on the creative and the social. Essays engage iconic figures such as Sterling Brown, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Dorothy West, and Richard Wright as well as understudied writers such as Arna Bontemps and Marita Bonner, Henry Lee Moon, and Roi Ottley. This book demonstrates the significance of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA), the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) and Black literary circles in the absence of white patronage. By featuring novels, poetry, short fiction, and drama alongside guidebooks, photographs, and print culture, African American Literature in Transition 1930-1940 provides evidence of the literary culture created by Black writers and readers during a period of economic precarity, expanded activism for social justice, and urgent internationalism.
