Sociological Ground Breaker,
By FAYE L ALLARD (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study (Paperback)
Read this book! Not only was "The Philadelphia Negro" a groundbreaking piece of sociological research in its day (the late 19th century), the book also goes a long way to explain the historical roots of much of what we see today in Philadelphia and other cities in America. Organized simply and effectively into clear chapters, we learn how African Americans really lived in Philadelphia after emancipation; detailing family and household arrangements, employment, education, health and religion. Elijah Anderson's introduction is a fantastic bonus, helping to illuminate the book even more. Everyone living in Philadelphia should read this!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Importance of Philadelphia Negro Study,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Philadelphia Negro: A Social Study (Paperback)
This of course is a seminal study, but was extremely enlightening since we don't realize that a number of African Americans were free and living in urban settings with their own insular communities and organizations. Although it is filled with graphs and staid sociological comments it is an important lens on life among negroes 1840-1880's.
