The White-Collar Negro
Hughes, Everett C. | April 13, 1957 issue

add to cart   close window

The article reviews the book "Black Bourgeoisie," by E. Franklin Frazier. The beginning is a very readable semi-popular social arid economic history of Negroes in the U.S. Frazier tells the story of the migrations, and social changes well. As to the economic facts that Frazier presents there can be no doubt. One is tempted to correct the picture a bit by saying that the middle class of any group aiming up from below is likely to rise by performing services or disservices for their fellows, rather than by getting a firm footing in the main industries and businesses of the country.
