Those who love the before and after photos of Harlem from the past 40 years should check out the new hardcover book from documentary photographer Camille Jose Vergara.
Harlem: The Unmaking of Ghetto has color photos of the crumbling blocks from the 70s, 80s, 90s next to images of the new revival in the past decade:

Also, Mr. Vergara's photos are collected on the extraordinary "Invincible Cities" web site at http://invinciblecities.camden.rutgers.edu/intro.html. There are amazing "before and after" photos of the same Harlem locations taken over many years. Highly recommended.
