Summary note
Paris, one of the world's great cities, has a long and rich tradition of embracing people of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Langston Hughes, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Ada "Bricktop" Smith, Sidney Bechet, Victor Séjour, Josephine Baker, Henry O. Tanner, and numerous other African Americans have lived, worked, and played in Paris, and while doing so contributed significantly to the city's legacy. "Paris Reflections" takes the reader on six walking tours through historic districts of Paris where the African-American presence has been prominent. The authors have assembled a vast amount of information about the lives and works of many of Paris's most prominent African Americans, and all who walk the city's neighborhoods with "Paris Reflections" in hand will become intimately familiar with the stage and exact locations upon which so much of the area's vibrant African-American history has played out. Each walk is accompanied by a clear and detailed map that will help the reader easily navigate the intricate streets and buildings of the City of Light. -- From publisher's description.
