Bill V Mullen
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Review Quotes: "All readers who are interested in the history of Chicago, African American culture, and leftist politics are sure to find some benefit from Mullen's richly detailed and boldly revisionist study."-- Journal of Illinois HistoryBiographical Note: Bill V. Mullen is a professor of English and American studies at Purdue University and the author of Afro-Orientalism . Review Quotes: "Mullen marries investigation and a well-executed idea of story in this well-researched piece of scholarship on black art, black literature and literary publications, and the cultural politics of Chicago's African American community."-- ChoiceReview Quotes: "Mullen's mission is to refresh our cultural memories. He wants to remind us not only of African American cultural production in the 'Chicago Renaissance' that took place before and during World War II, but also that the U. S. Left--in the form of the Communist Party and the individuals and organizations of its Popular Front--played a significant role in the period."-- American Historical Review
