Celebrated scholar Carla Kaplan's cultural biography focuses on white women, collectively called ''Miss Anne,'' who became Harlem Renaissance insiders. The 1920s in New York City was a time of freedom, experimentation, and passion–with Harlem at the epicenter. White men could go uptown to see jazz and modern dance, but women who embraced black culture too enthusiastically could be ostracized. Miss Anne in Harlem focuses on six of the unconventional, free-thinking women, some from Manhattan high society, many Jewish, who crossed race lines and defied social conventions to become a part of the culture and heartbeat of Harlem.

A male face loomed over him, so close that all he could see were stubby black mustache hairs sprouting from the pores of an upper lip and the rose-pink flesh of the mouth. The man was pinching Leon’s nostrils shut, about to give him the kiss of life.
In this issue we report on Spain's recent general election. It was very different to those that have been held in the past. The result was inconclusive and we attempt to explain why. The Fed has finally decided to raise the interest rate, India plans to make use of bullet trains and hot Jupiters are not so dry after all. Do you know what face mites are? If not you could be in for a surprise.
