About this listen
This week, we chat about the movie Sylvie's Love (2020), directed by Eugene Ashe and starring Tessa Thompson and Nnamdia Asomugha. The film poses the question of whether romance stories can be stripped of their political context. We dissect the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, jazz history, and the civil rights movement.
In this episode, we reference the following works:
- ‘Sylvie’s Love’ Nnamdi Asomugha and Writer-Director Eugene Ashe Reflect on Telling a Story Audiences Hadn’t Seen Before by Scott Huver
- Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement by Barbara Ransby
- The New Negro Aesthetic: Selected Writings from Alain Locke
- "Our History," published by the NAACP
- A History of the Harlem Renaissance edited by Rachel Farebrother and Miriam Thaggert
- "Black Women Working Together: Jazz, Gender, and the Politics of Validation" by Tammy L. Kernodle
- "The Harlem Renaissance and its Blue-Jazz Traditions: Harlem and its Places of Entertainment" by Virginia Whatley Smith
