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!

Perhaps no other group of people has been as much formed by biblical texts and tropes as African Americans. From literature and the arts to popular culture and everyday life, the Bible courses through black society and culture like blood through veins. Despite the enormous recent interest in African American religion, relatively little attention has been paid to the diversity of ways in which African Americans have utilized the Bible.African Americans and the Bibleis the fruit of a four-year collaborative research project directed by Vincent L. Wimbush and funded by the Lilly Endowment. It brings together scholars and experts (sixty-eight in all) from a wide range of academic and artistic fields and disciplines--including ethnography, cultural history, and biblical studies as well as art, music, film, dance, drama, and literature. The focus is on the interaction between the people known as African Americans and that complex of visions, rhetorics, and ideologies known as the Bible. As such, the book is less about the meaning(s) of the Bible than about the Bible and meaning(s), less about the world(s) of the Bible than about how worlds and the Bible interact--in short, about how a text constructs a people and a people constructs a text. It is about a particular sociocultural formation but also about the dynamics that obtain in the interrelation between any group of people and sacred texts in general. ThusAfrican Americans and the Bibleprovides an exemplum of sociocultural formation and a critical lens through which the process of sociocultural formation can be viewed.

IVP Readers' Choice Award We are all located in different places. And the way we grow as disciples and lead others in spiritual growth depends on our contexts. Pastor José Humphreys recognizes how deeply our faith is tied to our particular stories in our particular places. Grounded in his own deep faith and wisdom, he writes out of his experiences as a Puerto Rican pastor who has planted a multiethnic church in East Harlem. In this book, he offers a framework to help church leaders take discipleship seriously in their places, calling them to show up, stay put, and see what God is doing in their midst. Combining spiritual formation with activism, vivid narrative with exhortation, and realism with hopefulness, Humphreys offers pastors and church planters a thoughtful look at discipleship in a complex world.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), the most prominent of the Harlem Renaissance women writers, was unique because her social and professional connections were not limited to literature but encompassed theatre, dance, film, anthropology, folklore, music, politics, high society, academia, and artistic bohemia. Hurston published four novels, three books of nonfiction, and dozens of short stories, plays, and essays. In addition, she won a long list of fellowships and prizes, including a Guggenheim and a Rosenwald. Yet by the 1950s, Hurston, like most of her Harlem Renaissance peers, had faded into oblivion. An essay by Alice Walker in the 1970s, however, spurred the revival of Hurston’s literary reputation, and her works, including her 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, have enjoyed an enduring popularity. Zora Neale Hurston: An Annotated Bibliography of Works and Criticism consists of reviews of critical interpretations of Hurston’s work. In addition to publication information, each selection is carefully crafted to capture the author’s thesis in a short, pithy, analytical framework. Also included are original essays by eminent Hurston scholars that contextualize the bibliographic entries. Meticulously researched but accessible, these essays focus on gaps in Hurston criticism and outline new directions for Hurston scholarship in the twenty-first century. Comprehensive and up-to-date, this volume contains analytical summaries of the most important critical writings on Zora Neale Hurston from the 1970s to the present. In addition, entries from difficult-to-locate sources, such as small academic presses or international journals, can be found here. Although intended as a bibliographic resource for graduate and undergraduate students, this volume is also aimed toward general readers interested in women’s literature, African American literature, American history, and popular culture. The book will also appeal to scholars and teachers studying twentieth-century American literature, as well as those specializing in anthropology, modernism, and African American studies, with a special focus on the women of the Harlem Renaissance.

At the birth of the United States, African Americans were excluded from the newly-formed Republic and its churches, which saw them as savage rather than citizen and as heathen rather than Christian. Denied civil access to the basic rights granted to others, African Americans have developed their own sacred traditions and their own civil discourses. As part of this effort, African American intellectuals offered interpretations of the Bible which were radically different and often fundamentally oppositional to those of many of their white counterparts. By imagining a freedom unconstrained, their work charted a broader and, perhaps, a more genuinely American identity. In Pillars of Cloud and Fire, Herbert Robinson Marbury offers a comprehensive survey of African American biblical interpretation. Each chapter in this compelling volume moves chronologically, from the antebellum period and the Civil War through to the Harlem Renaissance, the civil rights movement, the black power movement, and the Obama era, to offer a historical context for the interpretative activity of that time and to analyze its effect in transforming black social reality. For African American thinkers such as Absalom Jones, David Walker, Zora Neale Hurston, Frances E. W. Harper, Adam Clayton Powell, and Martin Luther King, Jr., the exodus story became the language-world through which freedom both in its sacred resonance and its civil formation found expression. This tradition, Marbury argues, has much to teach us in a world where fundamentalisms have become synonymous with “authentic” religious expression and American identity. For African American biblical interpreters, to be American and to be Christian was always to be open and oriented toward freedom.
