An updated and expanded edition of a groundbreaking text. When originally published in 1979, Black Bostonians was the first comprehensive social history of an antebellum northern black community. At the time, most scholarship had focused on the nature and experience of southern slave society while few historians had directed their attention to African Americans in the antebellum North. Those that did seemed to be satisfied with a ""culture of poverty"" theory; that is, the idea that slavery and urban poverty had destroyed the antebellum black family and other community institutions, leaving African Americans trapped. Setting out to test this theory, the Hortons found quite the opposite. In antebellum Boston, the African Americans, some of whom were recently out of the bonds of slavery, had a highly organised community which was a centre of the antislavery movement. To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of this groundbreaking text, the Hortons have updated and expanded their original study to cover issues such as color distinctions among blacks, gender roles, and the impact of racial discrimination on relationships between African-American men and women. Analysing the structure of life and work in black Boston from the eighteenth century to the eve of the Civil War, the authors deftly blend quantitative and traditional historical methods to show the variegated fabric of everyday life in black Boston. They aid the reader in seeing how fugitive slaves and businessmen, washerwomen and barbers, churchgoers and abolitionists lived, worked, and organised for mutual aid, survival, and social action. The profile of this vital community, its characteristics and concerns, reveals the world of the antebellum free blacks and the network of family and community that surrounded and strengthened them in their struggle for freedom.

This study of Boston's West Indian immigrants examines the identities, goals, and aspirations of two generations of black migrants from the British-held Caribbean who settled in Boston between 1900 and 1950. Describing their experience among Boston's American-born blacks and in the context of the city's immigrant history, the book charts new conceptual territory. The Other Black Bostonians explores the pre-migration background of the immigrants, work and housing, identity, culture and community, activism and social mobility. What emerges is a detailed picture of black immigrant life. Johnson's work makes a contribution to the study of the black diaspora as it charts the history of this first wave of Caribbean immigrants.

Between the Revolution and the Civil War, non-slave black Americans existed in the no-man’s land between slavery and freedom. The two generations defined by these two titanic struggles for national survival saw black Bostonians struggle to make real the quintessential values of individual freedom and equality promised by the Revolution. Levesque’s richly detailed study fills a significant void in our understanding of the formative years of black life in urban America. Black culture Levesque argues was both more and less than separation and integration. Poised between an occasionally benevolent, sometimes hostile, frequently indifferent white world and their own community, black Americans were, in effect, suspended between two cultures.

Adelaide Cromwell’s pioneering work explores race and the social caste system in an atypical northern environment over a period of two centuries. Based on scholarly sources, interviews, and questionnaires, the study identifies those blacks in Boston who exercised political, economic, and social leadership from the end of the eighteenth century to the middle of the twentieth. The central focus is a comparison of black and white upper-class women in the 1940s. This rare look at a black social microcosm not located in the South is seminal and timely. Because it concludes at a critical period in American history, The Other Brahmins paints a colorful backdrop for evaluating subsequent changes in urban sociology and stratification. In a groundbreaking study, Cromwell effectively challenges the simplistic notions of hierarchy as they pertain to race.

This book begins in 1917 at the beginning of World War I and ends with a discussion of urban renewal, which took place in Boston's black community in the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on twenty-three long, taped interviews with prominent black Bostonians between July of 1988 and February of 1989. It is thus a narrative about black politics taken from the memories of black Bostonians between July of 1988 and February of 1989. The last section of the book is a curriculum guide written for high school and college teachers by the well-known black educator, historian, and author Robert C. Hayden. For each of the four decades between the 1920s and 1960s, it contains background information, chapter summaries, social studies concepts and topics, questions for discussion, proposed student activities, and suggested readings.

"Written by first-rate scholars, these 10 essays give focus to the antislavery movement in Boston, particularly to the significance of African American abolitionists." --Choice "... handsome, lavishly illustrated, and informative... " --The New England Quarterly "... this work is a thoughtful, long overdue discourse on individual and group accomplishments. It is replete with absorbing illustrations, which when accompanied by insightful essays, depict the courage of those who labored for equality in antebellum Boston." --Journal of the Early Republic Until recently little was known of the contributions of African Americans in the antebellum abolition movement. Massachusetts, having granted voting rights early on to black males, was a center of antislavery agitation. Courage and Conscience documents the black activism in 19th-century Boston that was critical to the success of the abolitionist cause.
