Black Metropolis: Harlem, 1915-1930

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Our aim is to produce an ethnographic study of everyday life in Harlem as it became the black capital of the world. Not only will our project be a contribution to the exciting historiography of African American culture, but it will be at the cutting edge of new scholarship about twentieth-century America. It will also offer a model of the ways in which the "everyday" can be recovered and demonstrate the advantages, in terms of deeper insights into early twentieth-century black urban life, that such a recovery can yield.
