About this title: In this stirring memoir, Harlem is more than just a place to live: it is a state of mind, a spiritual home. Eddy L. Harris chronicles the history of Harlem from its pastoral beginnings to its heyday as the cultural center of black life to its transformation into a symbol of urban decline--ending on a note of hope as he returns to his old neighborhood, knowing that he needs what it can give him, and hoping he can give something back.
