520    At once incendiary and icy, mischievous and provocative, 
       celebratory and elegiac-here is a deeply felt meditation 
       on race, sex, and American culture through the prism of 
       Margo Jefferson's rarefied upbringing and education among 
       a black elite concerned with distancing itself from whites
       and the black generality while tirelessly measuring itself
       against both.Born in upper-crust black Chicago-her father 
       was for years head of pediatrics at Provident, at the time
       the nation's oldest black hospital; her mother was a 
       socialite-Margo Jefferson has spent most of her life among
       (call them what you will) the colored aristocracy, the 
       colored elite, the blue-vein society. Since the nineteenth
       century, they have stood apart, these inhabitants of 
       Negroland, "a small region of Negro America where 
       residents were sheltered by a certain amount of privilege 
       and plenty."Reckoning with the strictures and demands of 
       Negroland at crucial historical moments-the civil rights 
       movement, the dawn of feminism, the fallacy of postracial 
       America-Margo Jefferson brilliantly charts the twists and 
       turns of a life informed by psychological and moral 
       contradictions. Aware as it is of heartwrenching despair 
       and depression, this book is a triumphant paean to the 
       grace of perseverance.
