Book Description
In this classic work, first published in 1930, James Weldon Johnson, one of the leading lights of the Harlem Renaissance, combined the skills of the historian, social scientist, and the reporter to trace the New York black experience from the earliest settlements on Chatham Square during the pre-revolutionary period to the triumphant achievements of Harlem in the 1920s. But Black Manhattan is by no means simply history; It illuminates Johnson and his contributions to both black literature and black organizations; it provides us with an intimate account of the black theatrical and musical world of which Johnson had been a part; and it raises searching questions about the black people's struggle to find their identity. Black Manhattan remains one of the essential books on the black American experience, losing none of its resonance and value after many decades.

Book Description
Excerpt from Manhattan HE sun with sabre of illuming flame Has rent the storm, and out of darkness rise, In the belated flare that strikes the skies, Colossal roofs like summits lost to fame, Or mountains heaped by Titans to reclaim The throne of Gods whose thunder still replies; A mighty bastion, lit for dream's surmise, Defying heaven with abortive aim. O shadowed marvel! Are thy peaks that fade A vision or a verity sublime? Thy promontories, where the storm delayed, Illusion's dream or the long boast of time? The ultimate shaft of sunset disappears, And leaves the night no answer from the years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Runaway Place: A May Idyl of Manhattan Around Saint Gaudens' golden group A little child pursues his hoop, Nor sees the twitching charger led By Victory, above his head; Of war and memories of war He knows not; Life lies all before; Just now sufficient for the day It is to seize the moment's play; And so around Saint Gaudens' group The little child pursues his hoop. Beyond the child we blithely mark The long green garden of the Park, And hear a call that will not down For all the clamor of the town, A Pipers call to run away Until the weary feet can play, Until the soul forgets its pain And dares to be a child again: The summoning grows fainter? Hark - The Piper's marching up the Park! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
A pioneering, dazzling satire about a biracial black girl from Philadelphia searching for her Jewish father in New York City Oreo is raised by her maternal grandparents in Philadelphia. Her black mother tours with a theatrical troupe, and her Jewish deadbeat dad disappeared when she was an infant, leaving behind a mysterious note that triggers her quest to find him. What ensues is a playful, modernized parody of the classical odyssey of Theseus with a feminist twist, immersed in seventies pop culture, and mixing standard English, black vernacular, and Yiddish with wisecracking aplomb. Oreo, our young hero, navigates the labyrinth of sound studios and brothels and subway tunnels in Manhattan, seeking to claim her birthright while unwittingly experiencing and triggering a mythic journey of self-discovery like no other.
