For over a half century, perhaps the best scholarly work exploring African American life in large, industrialized, northern cities with expanding populations has been St. Clair Drake and Horace R. Cayton's Black Metropolis: A Study of Negro Life in a Northern City (1945). However, a formal history examining businesses as part of an institutional structure, the role of a professional class, religion and the church, and political organization was never undertaken in Black Metropolis. The present volume presents the contributing factors that produced the contemporarily recognized dynamism of the period between 1920 and 1929 as well as the many impediments encountered. Hindsight has produced a view of life in this vibrant area of settlement, one that was not yet the “ghetto” that future historians in the 1960s would envision and write about.

The cosmopolitan northern city of Barcelona played host to Carmen’s Spanish premiere in 1881, starring Célestine Galli-Marié, and although the opera failed to take root at this point, Barcelona’s status as a center of entertainment in a variety of Spanish genres and a keen purveyor of European trends set the stage for Carmen’s return in the late 1880s. This revival led to a proliferation of competing productions in the early 1890s, and a degree of popularity that inspired the composition of a successful parody, the género chico work Carmela (1891), which subverted the local color and melodies of Bizet’s opera for a Hispanic audience and toured Spain and the Americas for several years.
