Book Synopsis : At once incendiary and icy, mischievous and provocative, celebratory and elegiacâ€â€here is a deeply felt meditation on race, sex, and American culture through the prism of the author’s rarefied upbringing and education among a black elite concerned with distancing itself from whites and the black generality while tirelessly measuring itself against both.  Born in upper-crust black Chicagoâ€â€her father was for years head of pediatrics at Provident, at the time the nation’s oldest black hospital; her mother was a socialiteâ€â€Margo Jefferson has spent most of her life among (call them what you will) the colored aristocracy, the colored elite, the blue-vein society. Since the nineteenth century they have stood apart, these inhabitants of Negroland, “a small region of Negro America where residents were sheltered by a certain amount of privilege and plenty.†Â Reckoning with the strictures and demands of Negroland at crucial historical momentsâ€â€the civil rights movement, the dawn of feminism, the fallacy of postracial Americaâ€â€Jefferson brilliantly charts the twists and turns of a life informed by psychological and moral contradictions. Aware as it is of heart-wrenching despair and depression, this book is a triumphant paean to the grace of perseverance.
