Answer: Harlem, as a predominantly poor black neighborhood, emphasizes the speaker's social and cultural background.

Explanation:

I hope that this is the right answer although I could not find about what speaker and artwork is about. I will tell you some information about Harlem so you can find it yourself.

Harlem does exist so it is not a made up city and since it is not rich and white neighborhood I also think that this is not the answer to this question.

Besides, correct answer can be also that the speaker is trying to escape to it, but since I don't have appropriate information, you must find it yourself.

Harlem is a neighborhood located in NYC. In 1920s and 30s Harlem had many artist of the American Black community in it. Later on, there were artist, musicians, writers, actors and more. It has a big cultural background.
