The Tenants of East Harlem. By Russell Leigh Sharman. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006. xiv + 243 pp. Map, photos, notes, bibliography, and index. $50.00 (cloth); $19.95 (paper).

Love cannot be an adequate substitute for analysis. It is a necessary component for productive reflection, but the critical nature of scholarly inquiry often avoids the emotions of value and appreciation. Russell Sharman brings the reader to the intersection of reason and intuition in The Tenants of East Harlem. He asserts his desire to avoid the lofty abstractions of academic theory in crafting a work for a popular audience in the introduction and then lets his subjects take center stage. Each person represents a different ethnic community within the neighborhood and indirectly provides a chronological organization of immigrant succession through the second half of the twentieth century.
