This book marks new critical space
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Previous critics have written about Toomer's biography, its interconnections with his art and the art of his contemporaries.

To Make a New Race is a must have book for all literary scholars and those interested in African American history. I received it this morning and haven't put it down since. Woodson does a fine job of decoding the influnce of Gurdijeff and Toomer on the writers and artists of the Harlem Renaissance
