Abstract:
Black Citymakers revisits the Black Seventh Ward neighborhood and residents of W.E.B. DuBois's The Philadelphia Negro over the twentieth century. Hunter's analysis demonstrates that black Philadelphians were by not mere victims of large scale socio-economic and political change such as deindustrialization, urban renewal, and growing federal intervention into urban America following World War II, but active participants influencing the direction of urban policy and change.
