Publisher's summary

As gentrification encroaches on historic Harlem, Rona Jaffe Foundation Writer’s Award recipient Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts untangles the myth and meaning of its storied legacy. Drawing on Harlem’s history and her own observations, Rhodes-Pitts introduces a variety of observers who shared a common hope that Harlem would become the ground from which Blacks fully entered America’s democracy.

Instant Classic

An amazing book! The author plays the ingenue, seeing Harlem through the eyes of a bookish newcomer. It is read beautifully and is really a work of literature.
