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.

It came in a plastic wrapping which helped perserve the book. My only concern is I didn't recieve the book in the timeframe I anticipated. Luckily my class didn't call for the book early in the semester so it hasn't interfered with my class.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. One StarBy Zhang Zhereally bad condition.
