Our former colleague, Emilie Boone, African American Studies, currently, New York University, was nominated for an award from the National Book Critics Circle for best first book. Her book on twentieth-century Harlem photographer James Van der Zee “considers James Van Der Zee’s photographic work over the course of the twentieth century, showing how it foregrounded aspects of Black daily life in the United States and the larger African Diaspora.” You can read this book online and a hard copy is available for a two-hour loan.
