A review by thesterlingstudy
Black Bourgeoisie by Franklin Frazier

4.0

This book is an in depth look of the Black Bourgeoisie aka the Middle Class that is still relevant in today’s age. I found myself, re-reading some of the texts along with making notes in the book. Some of the content may interested you in further research but the author tries to give you enough context to get the concept of what he is writing about. I liked how this is more of an analysis than a book telling others what to do to break out of this mindset. Many current books today do this but, it’s all on the advice of a single person that may have been a position of privilege.

At the same time, I believe the author is also taking a look within himself since he is one of the Black Bourgeoisie by his standards. He was a Professor and Chairman at Howard University, and a President of two national association.
