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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Jefferson, Margo,|d1947-|xChildhood and youth. 600 30 Jefferson family. 650 0 African American women|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 African Americans|xRace identity. 650 0 Elite (Social sciences)|zIllinois|zChicago. 650 0 African American girls|zIllinois|zChicago Region|xSocial conditions|y20th century. 650 0 African Americans|zIllinois|zChicago Region|xSocial life and customs|y20th century. 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|xRace relations|xHistory|y20th century |vAnecdotes. 651 0 Chicago Region (Ill.)|xSocial life and customs|y20th century|vAnecdotes. 651 0 Chicago Region (Ill.)|vBiography. 700 1 Miles, Robin,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11495246?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781504681506_180.jpeg
