First of all, Harlem reader should be read for anyone who would like to learn more about Harlem, New York. This book provides insights into the issues affecting the inhabitants of Harlem. This leads to the revelation of the struggle with which African-Americans survived the period of the “Harlem Renaissance period”. This leads to the solution of issues related to the large migration from the southern cotton fields, plantations and discriminatory practices, which made African Americans look for a better life in the northern cities of America in various creative ways and in support of each Other.
Secondly, the imaginative language in this book excites the soul and strengthens the views on different points of view from the many dominant authors associated with Harlem. The contributions of their inspirational essays, short stories, poems and artistic works are very instructive and uplifting. Their combined effects are also very educated and emotional.
Further, Harlem is not only affected in the days of Harlem Renaissance; the work also touched on current and expected future activities in Harlem. The book shows the current state of economic development. It also testifies to the ill-treatment of those who were not financially wealthy or were considered in the highest income class. He also illuminates the life of the materially rich and how they treated others. However, the African-American population was spiritually rich, which supported their souls then and will be in the future.
In addition, the contributions of great writers such as Langston Hughes, WEB Dubois, Weldon Johnson and Claude McKay, will touch the soul. Also included are national liberators, such as Markus Garvey, Rev. Al Sharpton, Malcolm X, Rev. Adam Clayton Powell, and others, just to name a few. These people are considered heroes for the people of Harlem. They made a great contribution to the strengthening of Harlem and had a positive impact on the lives of residents there in many ways; they will probably never be forgotten by them.
Finally, the literary essence of this book is straight from the heart of Harlem and African-Americans. I was pleased to learn from my golden pages. This book is really educational and inspiring. The author of this outstanding literary book, Herb Boyd, highlighted the understanding of the essence and presence of Harlem on the world stage in a sublime manner, so that everyone can learn and enjoy reading this beautiful book.
