Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-18 00:00:00 Jack C Lindsley Extremely refreshing and coherent. Incorporates sociological data without overwhelming historical arguments.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-09-20 00:00:00 Michelle Southers First published in 1979 and revised in 1999. Interesting foundational work. Brings to light many individual African Americans who lived and worked in Boston. Looks at the North End and Beacon Hill Communities. The weight lies on a sociological kind of reading of the important census materials they look at. Some of them assumptions are dated. Mostly good insights regarding the relationships between communities of African Americans from various socio-economic statuses.
