About this book
Author / Editor information
Reviews
Reminding us of the concrete and abstract relationships that make up a neighborhood, Sandhya Shukla remaps Harlem’s affective geographies. Through Shukla’s elegant close readings and intertextual creativity, we are given a new path through the solidarities of grief and hope that have long made Harlem a home for radical imagination.
Vera M. Kutzinski, author of The Worlds of Langston Hughes: Modernism and Translation in the Americas:
In Cross-Cultural Harlem, Sandhya Shukla offers a beautifully nuanced reimagining of Harlem as a dynamic space where people have lived in difference rather than just with differences, in which identities and identifications are far more complex than often simplified notions of race relations suggest. This valuable book tells a much fuller, multifaceted story of cultural encounters in upper Manhattan.
Jacqueline Nassy Brown, author of Dropping Anchor, Setting Sail: Geographies of Race in Black Liverpool:
Cross-Cultural Harlem is a beautiful and daring piece of scholarship. Sandhya Shukla tells new stories about an iconic neighborhood and casts a fresh eye on sedimented ones. The result is a careful, compassionate, and compelling case for a place-based and racially complex ethic of relationality.
