When did the Harlem Renaissance occur?

Written and fact-checked by The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

The movement is considered to have begun about 1918 and continued to 1937. Its most productive period was in the 1920s, as the movement’s vitality suffered during the Great Depression (1929–39). Although the spirit of the Harlem Renaissance survived into the 1930s, Arna Bontemps’s debut novel, God Sends Sunday (1931), is generally considered the last book of the movement.
