I read this book for Dr. Farizo's class but also wanted to put it here so that I don't forget about it. I loved this book! It was so beautifully done and contains SO MUCH INFORMATION about the time period -- important social, political, literary and cultural figures -- that any portion of it would be a good anchor text for a unit on the Harlem Renaissance!

something about this book was not right. maybe the young readers designation. it made harlem seem earnest of all things. good pictures and info ( )
