Summary:"More than one hundred years after its original publication by the University of Pennsylvania Press, ThePhiladelphia Negro remains a classic work and is the first sociological case study of an African American community in the United States.It is also the first, and perhaps still the finest, example of engaged sociological scholarship-the kind of work that, in contemplating social reality, helps to change it. This edition features a newly revised introduction by Elijah Anderson that examines how the neighborhood studied by Du Bois has changed over the course of a century; and contextualizes the study in light of recent twenty-first-century scholarship"--
