Product Review
"Richly researched and a welcomed democratization of intellectual history. Baldwin’s vibrant prose accentuates the excitement of the city and the stimulating interplay between cultural innovators and their active patrons.”
— Journal of Illinois History
Baldwin skillfully combines original sources such as newspapers and magazines of the period with secondary material to create a work that examines issues of class, economics, socialization, politics, and gender. . . . [Chicago's New Negroes] is a fine addition to not only urban history, but also racial and economic historiography. Highly recommended.
—Choice
"[A] bold and innovative book [which] seeks to challenge commonly held assumptions about the lack of a thriving black intelligentsia in early twentieth-century Chicago. . . . A pioneering work."
Journal of American Ethnic History
“This monograph is much more than an intellectual history . . . . [It] is a fine addition to not only urban history, but also racial and economic historiography.”
— CHOICE
With this publication Baldwin emerges as one of the dynamic and innovative voices in contemporary African American studies.
—Mark Anthony Neal, author of New Black Man
Baldwin breaks new ground in his critique . . .
—A’Lelia Bundles, author of On Her Own Ground: The Life and Times of Madam C. J. Walker
