Nearly Fifteen Years Later, This Book Remains A Groundbreaking Study Of A Group Still Underrepresented In The Academic And Public Spheres. The Result Of Living For Three Years In Groveland, A Black Middleclass Neighborhood On Chicagos South Side, Black Picket Fences Explored Both The Advantages The Black Middle Class Has And The Boundaries They Still Face. Despite Arguments That Race No Longer Matters, Pattillo Showed A Different Reality, One Where Black And White Middle Classes Remain Separate And Unequal.Stark, Moving, And Still Timely, The Book Is Updated For This Edition With A New Epilogue By The Author That Details How The Neighborhood And Its Residents Fared In The Recession Of 2008, As Well As New Interviews With Many Of The Same Neighborhood Residents Featured In The Original.
