Banner-Haley In late twentieth-century America the black middle class has occupied a unique position. It greatly influenced the way African Americans were perceived and presented to the greater society, and it set roles and guidelines for the nation's black masses. Though historically a small group, it has attempted to be a model for inspiration and uplift. As a key force in the \"Africanizing\" of American culture, the black middle class has been both a shaper and a mirror during the past three decades. This study of that era shows that the fruits of integration have been at once sweet and bitter. This history of a pivotal group in American society will cause reflection, discussion, and debate. Charles T. Banner-Haley is a professor of history at Colgate University.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614969544855,"sku":"9781604738957","price":2457.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781604738957.webp?v=1775097502","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-fruits-of-integration-black-middle-class-ideology-and-culture-1960-1990-9781604738957","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
