Erstausgabe
First edition of this contemporary look at the lives of Black people in Chicago in the 1940s, a "monumental study of race relations and African American social structure" (Finkelman, 90). Anthropologist, scholar, and political advisor to several African nations, St. Clair Drake made his career working among the people he studied. While his co-author Horace R. Cayton had connections among the upper crust of Chicago's Black community, Drake was able to form relationships with the "poorer wage-earners" of the city (29), those who "the uppers and middles sometimes visualize as a 'problem' and always an embarrassment" (602). By examining the different strata of society within the Bronzeville neighborhood, Drake and Cayton are able to identify and describe many social issues that still affect Black communities today. Published "at a moment when sociology seemed unaware of the potential for overt racial conflict," BLACK METROPOLIS "anticipated the Black Power rebellions of the 1960s by acknowledging the existence of nationalistic, non-assimilative sentiment informed by race pride [.] and a long-held resentment at white oppression" (Rosa, 51). The popularity of BLACK METROPOLIS has carried it through several editions and reissues. A groundbreaking work, scarce in the original dust jacket. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original red-orange cloth binding. Original price-clipped dust jacket. Illustrated with various charts and diagrams. xxxiv, 810 pages. Jacket with light edgewear, a few small closed tears; spine with some sunning and 1.5" partially-closed tear with attendant rubbing, a bit of chipping to ends. Binding with small knock to spine. Text with a touch of soil to bottom edge. Tight. Very good in very good dust jacket.
