Black Metropolis: Harlem, 1915-1930

我们的目标是对哈莱姆成为世界黑人之都后的日常生活进行人种学研究。我们的项目不仅将对令人兴奋的非裔美国人文化史学做出贡献，而且将成为关于20世纪美国的新学术研究的前沿。它还将提供一个“日常生活”恢复方式的模型，并展示这种恢复可以产生的优势，就对20世纪早期黑人城市生活的更深入的了解而言。

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.
