Roaring 20’s
Describe the Jazz Age and some of the reactions to it.
African Americans musicians combined Western harmonies with African rhythms to create jazz. Jazz musicians, like trumpeter Louis Armstrong and pianist Duke Ellington, took simple melodies and improvised endless subtle variations in the rhythm and beat. They produced original music, and people loved it. Much of today’s popular music has been influenced by jazz.
While Europe recovered from the war, the United States experienced a boom time. Europeans embraced American popular culture, with its greater freedom and willingness to experiment. The nightclub and the sounds of jazz were symbols of that freedom.
Not everyone approved of the freewheeling lifestyle of the Jazz Age. For example, many Americans supported Prohibition, a ban on the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages he 18th, or Prohibition, Amendment ratified in 1919. Prohibition was meant to keep people from the negative effects of drinking. Instead, it caused an explosion of organized crime and speakeasies, or illegal bars. The Amendment was repealed in 1933.
How did flappers illustrate women’s emancipation in the Jazz Age? Flappers were highly visible, but they were a small minority. Most women saw limited progress in the postwar period. During the war, women had held a wide range of jobs. Although most women left those jobs when the war ended, their war work helped then win the vote in many Western countries.
How did new technologies in the 1920s contribute to postwar changes? By the 1920s, labor-saving devices had become common in middle-class homes. Washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and canned foods lightened the burden of household chores. Some women then sought work outside the home or did volunteer work to help the less fortunate. In the new atmosphere of emancipation, women pursued careers in many areas - from sports to the arts. Women golfers, tennis players, swimmers, and pilots set new records. Women worked as newspaper reporters, published bestselling novels, and were recognized as artists. Affordable cars, improved telephones, and new forms of media such as motion pictures and radio brought people around the world closer together than ever before.
What did the writing of the Harlem Renaissance explore? African Americans. African American writers and artists expressed their pride in their unique culture. James Weldon Johnson, Jean Toomer, and Zora Neale Hurston explored the African American experience in their novels and essays. The poets Claude McKay and Langston Hughes experimented withnew styles, while Countee Cullen adapted traditional poetic forms to new content.
