Description:

The unique recollections of African-Americans from a variety of backgrounds and age groups accompany more than 160 images from personal and archival collections, with such poignant ephemera as programs from cotillions and fashion shows, restaurant menus, movie posters, even ticket stubs. The authors have woven material from university and museum collections in Detroit, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Atlanta into a narrative photo book that forms a warm, loving record of African-American community, traditions, and family life in the latter half of the twentieth century.

Patrik Henry Bass is the book editor of Essence magazine. He has written for the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Quarterly Review of Black Books, and other publications. Karen Pugh has been a fashion designer for Polo-Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, and the Limited Stores. Her artwork and photography have appeared in numerous books and magazines, and she has been profiled in Jet, Essence, and Vibe magazines.
