2 editions published between 2003 and 2004 in English and held by 423 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In the 1920s, African-American literature, art, music, dance, and social commentary flourished in Harlem, in uptown New York City.

Featuring commentary from historians and the performers themselves, this program traces the roots of the music, its social impact on society and its eventual acceptance in mainstream culture
