A friend of mine recommended this book for me a few months back, and I found it to be incredibly informative and entertaining: Black Broadway: African Americans on the Great White Way by Stewart F. Lane. It has a lot of fascinating information and includes a lot of really cool pictures.
Other recommendations I have (which are great for anyone who wants to learn more about the Theater history in New York City) include: Lost Broadway Theaters by Nicholas van Hoogstraten, Music in German Immigrant Theater: New York City, 1840-1940 by John Koegel, It Happened on Broadway: An Oral History of the Great White Way by Myrna Katz Frommer, and Razzle Dazzle: The Battle for Broadway by Michael Riedel.
I hope some of those recommendations pique your interest. I’m curious, what books would you recommend?
If anyone is interested in the history of New Amsterdam and about the lasting Dutch influence, there are two books from our booklist that I highly recommend: Russell Shorto's seminal work, The Island at the Center of the World: The Epic Story of Dutch Manhattan and the Forgotten Colony That Shaped America, and Nicoline van der Sijs' fascinating Cookies, Coleslaw, and Stoops: The Influence of Dutch on the North American Languages.
