- This collection brings together eleven leading scholars from the UK, Australia, and US to assess Harlem’s political, cultural, and intellectual history, as well as its long-standing, and contested, symbolism. The collection was curated, assembled and co-edited by Fearnley and Daniel Matlin (Kings College London), with Fearnley being responsible for 50% of the task of assembling contributors and overall co-editing duties. Fearnley is the sole author of the chapter 'From Prophecy to Preservation: Harlem as Temporal Vector’ (9,300 words, pp. 27-46); and is the joint author, with Matlin, of the work’s 'Introduction’ (11,000 words, pp. 1-23). Fearnley’s chapter is based on extensive archival research, and recovers an original dimension of Harlem’s symbolism, concerning its use as a ‘temporal vector’, an argument that also extends out to the general scholarship on the historical identity of ‘place’. The work’s Introduction (Fearnley 50%) contextualizes the volume’s contribution to current and past debates on Harlem and New York, while also outlining the ways in which this volume models new frames for thinking and writing about Harlem. The volume as a whole offers a fresh perspective on Harlem, encompassing, for the first time, the long twentieth century, and bringing together scholarship from across several disciplinary fields, including history, literature, cultural studies, anthropology, and film studies.
