A passionate ode to an American mecca, Beloved Harlem is a literary look into the vibrant African-American haven, edited by one of its celebrated native sons. William H. Banks, Jr., combines the classics with the contemporary as he showcases some of the best essays, short stories, and novel excerpts inspired by the diversity of Harlem life, from the early twentieth century to the new millennium. The days and nights of black Manhattan come alive in the words of historically famous writers like W.E.B. Dubois, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Dorothy West, Ossie Davis, and Toni Morrison, along with the works of brilliant newcomers to the neighborhood, including Brian Keith Jackson’s witty examination of identity politics in The Queen of Harlem and Rosemarie Robatham’s “Dreaming in Harlem,” a moving tale about a woman at the edge of society who finds sanctuary with a stranger. From renaissance through tough times to revitalization, this triumphant homage gives Harlem the historical perspective it so rightly deserves. Beloved Harlem is a welcome addition to the libraries of readers who are either already in love with Harlem or ready to take the fall.

Baldwin's Harlem is an intimate portrait of the life and genius of one of our most brilliant literary minds: James Baldwin. Perhaps no other writer is as synonymous with Harlem as James Baldwin (1924-1987). The events there that shaped his youth greatly influenced Baldwin's work, much of which focused on his experiences as a black man in white America. Go Tell It on the Mountain, The Fire Next Time, Notes of a Native Son, and Giovanni's Room are just a few of his classic fiction and nonfiction books that remain an essential part of the American canon. In Baldwin's Harlem, award-winning journalist Herb Boyd combines impeccable biographical research with astute literary criticism, and reveals to readers Baldwin's association with Harlem on both metaphorical and realistic levels. For example, Boyd describes Baldwin's relationship with Harlem Renaissance poet laureate Countee Cullen, who taught Baldwin French in the ninth grade. Packed with telling anecdotes, Baldwin's Harlem illuminates the writer's diverse views and impressions of the community that would remain a consistent presence in virtually all of his writing. Baldwin's Harlem provides an intelligent and enlightening look at one of America's most important literary enclaves.

Over the course of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, Harlem has been the capital of both Black America and a global African diaspora, an early home for Italian and Jewish immigrant communities, an important Puerto Rican neighborhood, and a representative site of gentrification. How do we understand the power of a place with so many claims and identifications? Drawing on fiction, sociology, political speech, autobiography, and performance, Sandhya Shukla develops a living theory of Harlem, in which peoples of different backgrounds collide, interact, and borrow from each other, even while Blackness remains crucial. Cross-Cultural Harlem reveals a dynamic of exchange that provokes a rethinking of spaces such as Black Harlem, El Barrio, and Italian Harlem. Cross-cultural encounters among African Americans, West Indians, Puerto Ricans, Jews, and Italians provide a story of multiplicity that challenges the framework of territorial enclaves. Shukla illuminates the historical processes that have shaped the diversity of Harlem, examining the many dimensions of its Blackness—Southern, African, Caribbean, Puerto Rican, and more—as well as how white ethnicities have been constructed. Considering literary and historical examples such as Langston Hughes’s short story “Spanish Blood,” the career of the Italian American left-wing Harlem congressman Vito Marcantonio, and the autobiography of Puerto Rican–Cuban writer Piri Thomas, Shukla argues that cosmopolitanism and racial belonging need not be seen as contradictory. Cross-Cultural Harlem offers a vision of sustained dialogue to respond to the challenges of urban transformations and to affirm the future of Harlem as actual place and global symbol.

It is truly a beautiful country, comprised of hundreds and hundreds of unique cities, towns, communities, villages – all situated and spread out randomly in this wilderness, this land designated as the United States. It seemed so that we can find our way about, locating each other and finding those not lost, we identify spaces by selective names to coincide with the numerical values made possible for mapping out space. Some spaces are more populated and better known than others. Our country is divided into segments called states. There are fifty, not all attached, and they each have their own name. The subject of this book is primarily one southern state called Mississippi. Further restricted to a smaller area a town called Harlem. Harlem is like many other towns within Mississippi, yet special. It is special because their people are special, check for yourself... Like all other areas this town – Harlem really exist and is populated by people some nice, others not so nice. Generally, space and areas remain constant. It is the people that change, bringing alteration to the area they inhabit. The Harlem of yesterday is not the Harlem of today and will not be the Harlem of tomorrow. Which one do you prefer? Review the many different Harlem auras, select your choice. Areas often dictates how people react. Weather controls the life cycle to some degree, the mode of travel and the ease of reaching those thereat determines who and why some people remain. Spend time in Harlem, Mississippi meet its regular residents, walk its streets. Get to know Alphonso Poole, Carlton Baisley, Andrew MacFarley, William Alcorn, BoRabbit and Wanda Richardson. Go to work with Clyde, Rosalind, Claudia and Clinton; find out who was a sociopath, and who transgendered. Commiserate with the needs of the lost while celebrating with the honored and praised... Like the deep south, before television became the rave as a household entertainment media, or babysitter as well as for the senior citizen’s companion and lifeline. Find out what occupied poor people’s time. Who made money, why, and how. You may never find the true answers but you might learn that and more traveling around in Harlem. There are mighty people there in Harlem, come put your feet up, stay awhile. You might be surprised. At least some of the creeping eternal boredom might be released. Jacquelyn has painted a picture of several ordinary everyday people who desired change and through trial and error; hit and miss, brought change to their lives. Was the change noteworthy? Was the change good or bad? Check for yourself. Right there in Harlem; change is very evident real, and good, bad or indifferent. Check those that pulled change out of the bag and see who will reap what they ultimately sow in HARLEM... I know you will grow to love some of those dear hearts and not so gentle people. Check and see. Do you want change in your life? It’s here waiting for you – Harlem might be your starting point, just open this book...

Harlem Bible---In the Beginning by Grant Harper Reid (Uptown Special-Rare Jimi Hendrix plays Harlem Vintage Photo Collection-Included) Multi-Book Award-winning author Grant Harper Reid has authored his second 5-Star book Harlem Bible which right out of the bat became an NAACP Mid-Manhattan Black History Month Founders Day Award Winner. Grant has taken a nod from the old master Lao Tzu the keeper of the Imperial Archives who proclaimed to the world, "A Good Reckoner Needs No Tally." In "Harlem Bible" Reid demonstrates himself to be a good reckoner indeed. Reid's first book was considered to be a work of pure literary genius, full of humor that pushes the envelope. Harlem Bible is a delightfully amazing and exceedingly enjoyable book. Grant reminiscences his early years as an innocent young black child growing up in Harlem and the suburbs of New. We are weaved through the author's past with flashbacks and timelines that are assembled and chock full of fascinating bygone circumstances of yesteryear. The impetus behind the Harlem Bible came from the author's angst as his beloved Harlem neighborhood became gentrified. With gentrification came newcomers who distorted and misrepresented the historical descriptions of his community. Grant took it personally when condescending intruders flooded onto his beloved streets and defined Harlem's glorious past to suit their own one-sided cravings. Reid watched as many authentic Harlemites passed away taking their tales with them to their hereafters. He chose to do something about it and thus he wrote the Harlem Bible. Harlem Bible arranges the groundwork with corroborated verifiable information then discharges it with reflections for the benefit of the readers. Please don't misperceive the Harlem Bible with the usual pasteurized half-stepping Negro books with no basis in fact. If you want to understand the hidden black culture that most colored people won't admit to then this book is for you. Harlem Bible is a look through Grant's life with his family, friends, associates, and adversaries. We follow little Grant as he's bussed to an all-white public school in the Bronx. While there he discovers for the first time what it's like to be a black boy when white students call him Nigger. We find out the authors reaction when he goes to a black summer camp and the "It" girl asks him for a dance. We learn of Reid's reaction at a Jewish day camp after he attempts to befriend the beautiful Jewish American Princess who rebuffs him and won't give him the time of day? What happens to the young author when he sneaks into Jimi Hendrix's limousine without the proper authorization? Discover what happens when the author looks into the mirror and mistakenly concludes that, "he ain't got one scintilla of talent" himself. Laugh with and at him as he attempts and nosedives downward when he wants to become a black hippie. What happens when Grant visits the mixed-race Negro hillbillies called Jackson Whites and believes they want to make him their main dinner course? The Harlem Bible journeys in a world full of jazz, rhythm & blues, soul music and rock & roll and famous celebrities. Take a breathtaking gallop into this world full of upwardly mobile African-Americas, original uptown hang-outs, riots, romance, civil rights and the underworld as this innocent young man tries to acquire a fair and equal education. Oh, the gangsters, ministers, stars and a potpourri harebrained, zany characters. Extra Special Rare Vintage "Jimi Hendrix Play's Harlem" photographs!
