125th Street: Photography in Harlem Pelizzari Antonella
An unprecedented study of Harlem's 125th Street photography and cultural identity.Harlem's 125th Street is a marker of twentieth-century urban experience, a thoroughfare that encapsulates powerful stories of business and consumption, real estate and gentrification, glamour and entertainment, and political uprising. The works shape a sense of belonging and identity that goes against the stereotyping and mystification of this neighborhood. This book explores the constant mutation of this street life through the works of a large roster of photographers and performance artists.The photographs in this book represent narratives of resilience and stories of survival against a rapid and sweeping movement of history across 125th Street, where buildings and communities are periodically destroyed and built anew.
It contributes to the writing of a new history of photography that
