Trade Review
"Green emphasizes the vibrant, positive cultural life of black Chicago.... Recommended." - Choice "Much like the race sellers and buyers in his book, Green imagines a much wider horizon of innovative ideas that shaped a national race culture." - Journal of Illinois History "A terrific book, one that should have a long historiographical influence.... All social scientists and humanists will find Green's book worthy of a serious and close reading." - H-Net Reviews"
