The colour portraits in this book document both the people and buildings of Harlem on the eve of great change. Gentrification and the influx of large chain stores are replacing small businesses, store fronts, memorials on walls and other visual evidence of the complex range of cultural identities had woven into the streets of their neighbourhoods. With a sense of both dedication and desperation (to beat the developer's clock) Alice Attie has produced a record of a world rapidly being lost.
