2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Massive amount of informationBy M.Y. UllmanThis book; stuffed with information; would have benefited from editing. It's too long and story lines get lost in biography. It is essential to read the foreword by the author. It updates much of what he says in the text itself. He admits that the original book has been overtaken by new research and new attitudes to such factors as the role of women and of music.I recommend it to students in colleges; with guidance as to where it stands in current scholarship.I want to add that the first book I bought; used; through ; was so full of underlining and marks that I could not read it and had to buy a second; new book. That argues for how much someone enjoyed working through the book!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. the book is very easy to readBy cheryl amraniI'm reading this book in tandem with a course on the Harlem renaissance...the book is very easy to read...the insights and historic detail are intriguing and provide valuable fodder for class discussions...the photos add texture and background...I'm really enjoying this read...1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy gladysI had need insights that were reason enough to read the book. But; the story is not compellingly told.
