Harlem is Nowhere: A Journey to the Mecca of Black America by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts Explore the myth and meaning of Harlem’s legacy as a thriving center of cultural achievement and political action. Combining official history and the personal Harlem at her front door, Rhodes-Pitts introduces us to a wide variety of characters, past and present. At the heart of their stories, and her own, is the hope carried over many generations that Harlem would be the ground from which Blacks fully entered America’s democracy.
