The book explores early-twentieth-century Chicago's transformation into a hub for black urban migrants, highlighting the emergence of consumer capitalism alongside thriving cultural institutions. Davarian Baldwin posits that this marketplace fostered a dynamic intellectual environment and sparked political dissent against the oppressive nature of white capitalism. By redefining the Harlem Renaissance's scope, he presents a new model of urban culture characterized by political engagement, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.
