Summary
Harlem's 125th Street is a marker of 20th-century urban experience that encapsulates powerful stories of business and consumption, real estate and gentrification, glamourand entertainment, and political uprising. The book explores works and themes from a large roster of photographers and performance artists who have engaged with the Berenice Abbott, Khalik Allah, constant mutation of this street life. The photographs in this book represent narratives of resilience and poems of survival against a rapid and sweeping movement of history across 125th Street, where buildings and communities are periodically destroyed and built anew. The works shape a sense of belonging and identity that goes against the stereotyping and mystification of this neighborhood. It contributes to the writing of a new history of photography that is collective and collaborative.
