First Freed: Washington D. C. in the Emancipation Era
I just don't know how I felt about this book. It was the first folklore study I'd ever read, so that part was interesting. However, I was always a little uncomfortable reading it because I knew that this white academic and his wife had moved into a black neighborhood in the 1950s to study the black people (as if they were animals or something)... and in the introduction he even says that now (at the time of the revised publication in 1970) the neighborhood is entirely white, meaning that he and his wife helped initiate the first wave of gentrification in Philly. I don't know why, but that part of the story (which really had nothing to do with the subject of the book) always stuck in my head and bothered me.
