Harlem Is Nowhere: A Journey to the Mecca of Black America

Harlem Is Nowhere: A Journey to the Mecca of Black America

Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts

Back Bay Books
2013
nidottu
A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist and New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Harlem Is Nowhere brilliantly captures the essence of Harlem at a crucial moment in the neighborhood's history. For a century Harlem has been celebrated as the capital of black America, a thriving center of cultural achievement and political action. As gentrification encroaches, Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts untangles the myth and meaning of Harlem's legacy. Examining the epic Harlem of official history and the personal Harlem that begins at her front door, Rhodes-Pitts introduces us to a wide variety of characters, past and present. At the heart of their stories, and her own, is the hope carried over many generations, hope that Harlem would be the ground from which blacks fully entered America's democracy. Rhodes-Pitts is a brilliant new voice who, like other significant chroniclers of places -- Joan Didion on California, or Jamaica Kincaid on Antigua -- captures the very essence of her subject. "No geographic or racial qualification guarantees a writer her subject . . . Only interest, knowledge, and love will do that -- all of which this book displays in abundance." -- Zadie Smith, Harper's

Jacob Lawrence Makes a World follows the creative adventures of the young artist as he finds inspiration in the vibrant colours and characters of his community in Harlem. From his mother’s apartment, where he is surrounded by brightly coloured walls with intricate patterns, to the streets full of familiar and not-so-familiar faces, sounds, rhythms and smells, to the art studio where he goes each day after school to transform his everyday world on an epic scale, Jacob takes readers on an enchanting journey through the bustling sights and sounds of his neighborhood. This vividly illustrated book about the artist Jacob Lawrence (1917- 2000) and his childhood in New York during the Harlem Renaissance is full of colourful street scenes that evoke the rich African-American culture and community captured by Lawrence in his landmark Migration series.

Based on a true story, My Name Makes Me feel Special is about Sharifa (author and illustrator). Being teased in school about having a different name, it made her feel ashamed, frustrated and alone. Sharifa hated her name, but when she found out the meaning of her unique name, she started gaining confidence to say; my name makes me feel special. Every child's name should make them feel special, especially if it's unique.

I write this book to the whole world because I believe it will help you and me walk into the Great Destiny God has prepared for us. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding you, regardless of your background, race, skin color or whichever part of the world you were born, you have a Great Destiny in Christ. It is my prayer that you get the motivation and Confidence to live for God. It is also my earnest prayer that you shall never be separated from God because of life's challenges but they shall push you to dig deeper in God, that you may experience the greatness of His ability.Isaiah 54:7-8 the bible says "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the LORD your Redeemer.Remember always that it doesn't matter how many children you have born, it also doesn't matter whether you grew up in a single parent home without a father or you were brought up in an orphanage. In the eyes of God, we are all Daddy's Children and He has good plans and thoughts for our destinies. Note that one mistake you have made in life cannot disqualify you from God's plan of greatness for you. I pray that the episodes from my personal life story, as highlighted in this book will be a great encouragement to you. And I also pray that the lines in this book will push you to be reconciled to God our father through His son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings & the Lord of Lords. He died on the cross for our sins. He is the redeemer of mankind. He is enthroned above every other name. Jesus Christ is not in competition with any other person and HE Does Not need to prove Himself to anybody. Your life can never be the same when you encounter Jesus Christ.Be blessed as you read.SHARIFA KASONGO
