became cultural survival, hanging on as people,

feminism, 66 % of men still feel they hold a more

Desire To Leave Harlem Renaissance

heritage. However, many other writers also began
concentrating on the darker theme of naturalism.
Nella Larsen s Quicksand illustrates many elements

he is just faking his insanity. Characters in the
