Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Quite enjoyable
I enjoyed this book. Even with 400+ pages, it read very quickly. Lots of research went into the book. Towards the end, I was saddened to see that the Black Elite had and have truly disappeared.
Rating:  - Jack and Jill
1. Classic.
2. A JackandJill-US.com must-have.
3. Inside the black upper class.
Rating: - Excellent, objective read.
This book is written from the vantage point of an objective, 3rd party eye. Very clinical, and hard facts. This book is MUCH better than the more recent popular book on the black elite. The author lays it on the line in a professional, objective manner.
Rating: - Excellent contribution!
This is the most informative book on the social history of Black America that I have read. Dr. Gatewood presents us with an interesting history of the black upper class in every major city in the United States. His focus on the prominent Bruce family opens our eyes to the life and times of the "colored aristocracy" in the nations capital during the late 19th century. This is a must for those interested in the social history of black America.
