A review by ifyouhappentoremember
Negroland by Margo Jefferson

3.0

Margo Jefferson takes readers into the world of the black elite of the US. These are a group of African-Americans who exemplify the 'talented tenth'; this society is a group of highly educated and generationally wealthy families that exists outside of the white world and distances itself from the general Black population. This is a very interesting topic, and the author is someone who grew up in this world.

Unfortunately, I found this book, at times, to be meandering. Many topics are covered but not enough space is given to flesh them out.
