Abstract
Harlem Renaissance was a distinguished period in the history of African-American literature in the 1920s and 1940s. The core of this movement was to promote African-American artists and encourage them to write and publish their work all over the world. Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen are two prominent figures of this movement who wrote brilliant poems on both racial and universal themes. In this study, the researcher examines Diaspora, race and African lore in their poetry. She compares and contrasts the two poets, who despite their similar ethnic background represent different sides of the same coin. This study also investigates the techniques employed in their poems. The study uses a historical, literary and comparative method. The first one made it possible to review Harlem Renaissance and to highlight the main historical features that led to and promoted the movement together with the main reasons that ended it. The poems by both poets are examined in the light of the three main points of study; diaspora, race and African lore besides investigating some technical features employed in the process of writing. The comparative method is mainly used to explore the relationship between Hughes and Cullen through highlighting their similarities and differences concerning the points of discussion.
