Product Review
Kam Williams African American Literature Book Club : [A] remarkable accomplishmentWorthwhile for these illustrations alone, the snapshots from the now distant past preserved forgotten Harlem tableausAnd when you factor in the ingenious fashion in which Sara Blair matches these pictures with the works of African-American literary giants, Harlem Crossroads adds up to a masterpiece making a noteworthy cultural contribution.
Product Review
Dawoud Bey, Columbia College Chicago : Sara Blair's Harlem Crossroads is an important addition to the body of literature that currently exists about Harlem. It brilliantly illuminates the complex relationship between photographic representation and race, and adds new insight into the ways in which this one black community has figured in both the critical and public imaginations. Harlem Crossroads is a tour de force.
Bryan Wolf, Stanford University : Harlem Crossroads looks at a set of relations, influences, and cultural styles that, to my knowledge, no one has recognized--let alone sorted through--with such visual and literary finesse. The intellectual range and ambition of the book is remarkable. I read through it thinking that this is what scholarship, at its most far-reaching, aspires to: a remapping of the intellectual territory that it considers, a synthesis of disparate arguments into a single, multivalent narrative that transforms the reader's understanding not only of its subject matter (Harlem and its legacy), but of its approach, the very idea of a 'cultural formation' that belies the disciplinary boundaries we normally adhere to.
Eric J. Sundquist, University of California, Los Angeles : Sara Blair sets out to understand the relationship between literature and photography with the volatile ground of early- to mid-twentieth-century Harlem as her setting. Harlem Crossroads is a major work of criticism and cultural history that will redirect scholarly conversations in a number of fields. It is that rare work that is truly interdisciplinary.
