Synopsis

Discover the explosive literary magazine that shook up the African-American community during the Harlem Renaissance. Fire!! was founded in 1926 by a talented group of exceptional Black writers and artists, including Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Countee Cullen. Their mission was to challenge the old ways of thinking and bring a fresh, modern perspective to the African-American experience. In just one issue, they tackled controversial topics like homosexuality, interracial relationships, and prostitution, sparking conversations that are still relevant today.

Langston Hughes wrote that the name was intended to symbolize their goal "to burn up a lot of the old, dead conventional Negro-white ideas of the past ... into a realization of the existence of the younger Negro writers and artists, and provide us with an outlet for publication not available in the limited pages of the small Negro magazines then existing."

While the magazine's headquarters burned down, cutting short its promising future, this first and only issue of the magazine now survives as this reprint. Don't miss out on this rare glimpse into the minds of some of the most innovative African-American thinkers of the 20th century.
