In recent decades, an exciting new scholarship has emerged that is
changing the way African American urban history is perceived. While
earlier studies often portrayed African Americans as passive and
powerless or as victims of white racism and slum pathologies, The
New African American Urban History emphasizes the "new" scholarship
that conveys a sense of active involvement. It supports the view of
African Americans as people empowered, engaged in struggle, living
their lives with dignity, and shaping their own futures. In this
perceptive volume, contributors examine the great modern migrations
of African Americans to the city, the creation and expansion of
black communities, and black life and culture--with special
emphasis on working-class culture. This collecton of essays,
written by prominent scholars, comes together in perfect harmony
with a common thematic approach and interpretive analysis, which
has shaped new writing in the field for the past decade. Both
groundbreaking and inspiring, The New African American Urban
History will prove to be an invaluable resource for students and
professionals in urban and ethnic studies.
