I was going to take your bait but then I realized that a so-called "Renaissance" was only capable of producing literature that is easily digestible to adolescents. So, . . . You are kind of right . . .

Its all just so bad.

Not even trying to be a Dick about it but you can totally see that its just boomer liberals who wrote the text books throwing a bone to blacks

Countee Cullen was pretty good. It's unfortunate that he was so often accused of essentially being an "Uncle Tom" for writing in a traditional poetic style.

The painters from the HR were better than the writers daysue

Yeah, not to be problematic or anything but I think it's kind of a misnomer? Because Harlem has always been a center for the arts xD

Is something like the Portable Harlem Renaissance reader good for understanding black people?

Try "Between the World and Me".
Or "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks".
