Black Gotham: A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City
Posted June 2, 2013
"Carla Peterson's Black Gotham presents the best, most detailed portrait of New York City’s nineteenth-century black elite. Using her own search for her family roots as a thread to pull the reader through the narrative, Peterson provides insight into the work lives, political roles, and personal lives of this small but highly influential group of black New Yorkers."—Leslie M.
