Meticulously researched and replete with archival illustrations from newspapers and rare periodicals! John W. Blassingame's groundbreaking history offers a unique look at the economic and social life of black people in New Orleans during Reconstruction. Not a conventional political treatment!

"Blending historical and sociological perspectives! and drawing with skill and imagination upon a variety of sources! (Blassingame) offers fresh insights into an oft-studied period of Southern history. . . .
