Reviews

This encyclopedic study will be of tremendous use to students of African American history and the history of nineteenth-century Chicago. Christopher Robert Reed has gone through old newspapers (including hard-to-find African American papers), oral histories, and a range of archival sources to provide an extraordinary overview of African American life in Chicago from the moment Jean Baptiste Pointe Du Sable settled his family by the Chicago River at roughly the location where present-day Michigan Avenue crosses it to the point in 1898 when African American troops marched out of the city on their way to fight in the Spanish-American War. The result is a complex look at a long and complicated history. <i>Journal of American History</i> If you have African-American ancestry in Chicago, you'll want to devour this book from cover to cover. <i>Family Tree Magazine</i> Reed's exploration of nineteenth-century black progress in Chicago helps us better understand the social and economic underpinnings that shaped the well-documented rise of the black metropolis of the tweniteth century. <i>American Historical Review</i> A magisterial contribution to African American urban history. <i>The Journal of African American History</i>
