2) Hardcover Book Harlem Stomp! A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance by Little, Brown Young Readers. Laban Carrick Hill´s "Harlem Stomp" is a fine historic text: with words, as well as, in pictures, photos and paintings .The text supports the idiom "believe half of what you see and even less of what you hear" as the text makes it clear that photographers like James VanDerZee(Pgs 124-126):"had his subjects look flawless even when in real life that was not the case"(e.g. :as Harlem struggled with purpose and poverty).¤

4) Hardcover Book Harlem Stomp! A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance by Little, Brown Young Readers. This book is a visual feast and a joy to browse; the graphic design captures the energy of the Harlem Renaissance. It´s like a scrapbook jammed with "rent party" tickets, dinner programs, book covers, letters, playbills, song lyrics and more. There is something here to capture the interest of even reluctant readers.

But the text also shines. The story of how and why Harlem came to be is told clearly and without mincing words: we learn the glorious achievements in art, music, theater, literature and just plain survival, but we also learn of the racism haunting the era, and the infighting within the Black community itself. I think readers will appreciate this honest, realistic approach, which brings the era to life.

By the way, given the graphic beauty of this book, the price is a steal!¤

5) Hardcover Book Harlem Stomp! A Cultural History of the Harlem Renaissance by Little, Brown Young Readers. When it was released in 2004, Harlem Stomp! was the first trade book to bring the Harlem Renaissance alive for young adults! Meticulously researched and lavishly illustrated, the book is a veritable time capsule packed with poetry, prose, photographs, full-color paintings, and reproductions of historical documents. Now, after more than three years in hardcover, three starred reviews and a National Book Award nomination, Harlem Stomp! is being released in paperback.¤
