About this listen
Black Picket Fences is a stark, moving, and candid look at a section of America that is too often ignored by both scholars and the media: the Black middle class. The result of living for three years in "Groveland", a Black middle-class neighborhood on Chicago's South Side, sociologist Mary Pattillo-McCoy has written a book that explores both the advantages and the boundaries that exist for members of the Black middle class. Despite arguments that race no longer matters, Pattillo-McCoy shows a different reality, one where Black and White middle classes remain separate and unequal.
