Miss Anne in Harlem

by Carla Kaplan

Tracing the vibrant period of the Harlem Renaissance, 'Miss Anne in Harlem' by Carla Kaplan uncovers the obscured narratives of white women who defied societal norms to immerse themselves in African American culture. Embracing Harlem's thriving artistic scene, these women, dubbed 'Miss Anne', challenged racial boundaries and embraced a world of jazz, freedom, and cultural rebellion. The story delves into the lives of six pioneering women whose boldness not only placed them at the heart of Harlem's pulsating energy but also underscored the complex racial dynamics of 1920s New York. Kaplan's meticulous research and captivating storytelling resurrect an overlooked chapter in the intersectional history of race and gender.
