This review is from: Meet Me at the Theresa: The Story of Harlem's Most Famous Hotel (Hardcover)
This is a good, readable account of the famous Harlem hotel and the role it played in black American culture in the first half of the 20th century. For my own peculiar purposes, I wish it had more to say about the hotel's very last years in the early 1960s, but of course that wasn't its heyday. It gives a great view of the place, its meaning, and its people in the 1940s and 1950s, and describes aspects of African-American society that too easily get forgotten in simplistic descriptions of race in America around that time.Nutty to Meet You!
