Black Bohemia Moves to Harlem --CODA: Hokum Redux --Notes Index --Notes --IndexDrawing extensively on black newspapers and commentary of the period, Karen Sotiropoulos shows how black performers and composers participated in a politically charged debate about the role of the expressive arts in the struggle for equality.
