Between the Revolution and the Civil War, non-slave black Americans
existed in the no-man's land between slavery and freedom. The two
generations defined by these two titanic struggles for national
survival saw black Bostonians struggle to make real the
quintessential values of individual freedom and equality promised
by the Revolution. Levesque's richly detailed study fills a
significant void in our understanding of the formative years of
black life in urban America. Black culture Levesque argues was both
more and less than separation and integration. Poised between an
occasionally benevolent, sometimes hostile, frequently indifferent
white world and their own community, black Americans were, in
effect, suspended between two cultures.
