Black Metropolis: Harlem, 1915-1930

我们的目标是对哈莱姆区的日常生活进行人种学研究，因为它已经成为世界黑人之都。我们的项目不仅将是对激动人心的非裔美国人文化史学的贡献，而且将是关于20世纪美国的新学术的前沿。它还将提供一个恢复“日常”的方式的模式，并展示在对20世纪早期黑人城市生活的更深入了解方面，这种恢复可以产生的优势。

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.
