Elwood-Farber Publishes Article on American Literature

Herkimer County Community College Associate Professor of English Lisa Elwood-Farber recently published an article on American literature called “Grimké’s Sentimentalism in Rachel: Subversion as an Act of Feminism” in Critical Insights: Harlem Renaissance: The New Negro Intellectual and the Poetry of the Political Imagination for Salem Press, edited by Christopher Varlack. It was presented at the Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA) conference in Toronto, Canada in May 2015.

The document contains essays about the Harlem Renaissance and explores the literature, poetry and art that celebrated black culture and challenged the hierarchal structure in place during the twentieth century.
