Miss Anne in Harlem: The White Women of the Black Renaissance by Carla Kaplan

4.0

Meticulously researched, and full of great Harlem Renaissance gossip, and written with some great, sparkling prose, but taken as a whole, the project feels like one intended to rescue these women from obscurity, or unflatten them from being associated with just one story, but she’s pretty incurious throughout about black women, and most of the analysis about black men lacks a gender analysis that is raced. Loved the content, didn’t vibe with the argument.
