Explores an American demographic group too often ignored by both scholars and the media: the black middle class. This book remains a study of a group still under represented in the academic and public spheres.

Uses the historic rise, alarming fall, and equally dramatic renewal of Chicago's North Kenwood - Oakland neighborhood to explore the politics of race and class in contemporary urban America. This title explores the battles between haves and have-nots, home owners and apartment dwellers, and newcomers and old-timers.
