The product of those studies was the first great empirical book on the Negro in American society. More than one hundred years after its original publication by the University of Pennsylvania Press, The Philadelphia Negro remains a classic work. It is the first, and perhaps still the finest, example of engaged sociological scholarship-the kind of work that, in contemplating social reality, helps to change it. In his introduction, Elijah Anderson examines how the neighborhood studied by Du Bois has changed over the years and compares the status of blacks today with their status when the book was initially published. 606 $aAfrican Americans$zPennsylvania$zPhiladelphia 606 $aHousehold employees$zPennsylvania$zPhiladelphia 607 $aPhiladelphia (Pa.)$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican Americans 615 0$aHousehold employees 676 $a974.8/1100496073 700 $aDu Bois$b W.
