Book Overview
Reissued for the first time in over thirty years, Black New Orleans explores the twenty-year period in which the city's black population more than doubled. Meticulously researched and replete with archival illustrations from newspapers and rare periodicals, John W. Blassingame's groundbreaking history offers a unique look at the economic and social life of black people in New Orleans during Reconstruction. Not a conventional political treatment, Blassingame's history instead emphasizes the educational, religious, cultural, and economic activities of African Americans during the late nineteenth century. "Blending historical and sociological perspectives, and drawing with skill and imagination upon a variety of sources, Blassingame] offers fresh insights into an oft-studied period of Southern history. . . . In both time and place the author has chosen an extraordinarily revealing vantage point from which to view his subject. "-Neil R. McMillen, American Historical Review

It has been years since I've read Black New Orleans, but as there are no reviews here, I want to assure anyone who is curious- read this! It is so full of information, I've often turned back to it to be remember some detail. It can be a bit dry, but there are few other sources for finding the history Blassingame brings together.
