Praise

“Making skillful use of the narratives of young Black professionals to illustrate that it’s possible to be able to afford a lifestyle of considerable luxury and still cultivate bonds of racial solidarity across class lines, Black Privilege is a crucial intervention in the study of Black life, as well as class and culture in the U.S.”

Mary Pattillo, author of Black On The Block, Harold Washington Professor of Sociology & African American Studies, Northwestern University.
