Product Information
W.E.B. DuBois immortalized Philadelphia's Black Seventh Ward neighborhood, one of America's oldest urban black communities, in his 1899 sociological study The Philadelphia Negro. In the century after DuBois's study, however, the district has been transformed into a largely white upper middle class neighborhood.Black Citymakers revisits the Black Seventh Ward, documenting a century of banking and tenement collapses, housing activism, black-led anti-urban renewal mobilization, and post-Civil Rights political change from the perspective of the Black Seventh Warders. Drawing on historical, political, and sociological research, Marcus Hunter argues that black Philadelphians were by no means mere casualties of the large scale social and political changes that altered urban dynamics across the nation after World War II. Instead, Hunter shows that black Americans framed their own understandings of urban social change, forging dynamic inter- and intra-racial alliances that allowed them to shape their own migration from the old Black Seventh Ward to emergent black urban enclaves throughout Philadelphia. These Philadelphians were not victims forced from their homes - they were citymakers and agents of urban change.Black Citymakers explores a century of socioeconomic, cultural, and political history in the Black Seventh Ward, creating a new understanding of the political agency of black residents, leaders and activists in twentieth century urban change.

Reviews
"Using the ingenious method of a neighborhood "life history," Black Citymakers charts more than a century of Black political agency in Philadelphia.There are no victims here, only savvy, creative, entrepreneurial, and dedicated Black Philadelphians whose proactive decisions have shaped the social geography of the city. This empirically rich, theoretically smart, and narratively elegant book charts a bold new course for the study of race and politics in urban history and sociology." --Mary Pattillo, author of Black on the Block: The Politics of Race and Class in the City "Taking W.E.B. DuBois's The Philadelphia Negro as its departure point, Marcus Hunter has written a wonderful book that builds on the insights of DuBois by exploring the political, social, and economic evolution of Philadelphia's Seventh Ward since DuBois's canonical study of the neighborhood. Especially attentive to the agency of black Philadelphians, Hunter demonstrates throughout the book that black residents of Philadelphia were active participants and leaders in the evolution of their neighborhood and their political power. Black Citymakers is a must read for all those concerned with urban and black politics today as well as those who wish to understand the transformation of Philadelphia's Seventh Ward and so many other cities across the country." --Cathy J. Cohen, author of Democracy Remixed: Black Youth and the Future of American Politics "Black Citymakers is singular in its documentation of pivotal political and economic events in American history that may be less known to readers... [and] the book succeeds in illustrating how the structure-versus-agency discourse played out in real time in a specific locale. Hunter provides a deftly written, convincing portrait of urban residents actively engaged in spatial transformation as well as some of the intended and unintended consequences. Scholars and students in sociology, political science, geography, social psychology, history, and cultural studies could benefit from Hunter's extensive knowledge of the experiences of the 'Philadelphia Negro' across time." --Urban Affairs Review "I recommend this work to students of urban social and economic policy for three primary reasons. First, Hunter uses historical, ethnographic methods to demonstrate the quality of black life as it relates to municipal policy in Philadelphia from 1899 to 2010... Hunter's second notable contribution... is his painstaking demonstration of the way in which blacks have been actors within the policy milieu as their position has evolved from relative weakness to relative strength... Finally, he provides a textured and well-documented rebuttal of the econometric and normative arguments that suggest benevolence and genetic inferiority are the reasons for continued socioeconomic disparities between the black minority and white minority populations." --Social Science Review, "Using the ingenious method of a neighborhood "life history," Black Citymakers charts more than a century of Black political agency in Philadelphia.There are no victims here, only savvy, creative, entrepreneurial, and dedicated Black Philadelphians whose proactive decisions have shaped the social geography of the city.

This argument is an important advance for scholars who expect residents of black neighborhoods, especially those who are working class, to have had little structural impact on their cities." --City & Community, Finalist, 2013 C.
