James Weldon Johnson, Black Manhattan (1930, reissued 1991), provides a vivid image of New York City’s Harlem district in the early 20th century and Shuffle Along’s pivotal role in the Harlem Renaissance. Accounts of the development of African American musical theater, particularly in Harlem, are offered in Thomas Riis, Just Before Jazz: Black Musical Theater in New York, 1890–1915 (1989); and Allen Woll, Black Musical Theatre: From Coontown to Dreamgirls (1989). Reid Badger, A Life in Ragtime: A Biography of James Reese Europe (1995, reissued 2007), recounts the development of ragtime in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and highlights Noble Sissle’s musical relationship with James Reese Europe. The decades-long partnership between Sissle and Eubie Blake is narrated through interview excerpts, photographs, and newspaper clippings in Robert Kimball and William Bolcom, Reminiscing with Sissle and Blake (1973, reissued as Reminiscing with Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake, 2000).
