Lacy's innovative work in the suburbs of Washington, DC, reveals, there is a continuum of middle-classness among blacks, ranging from lower-middle class to middle-middle class to upper-middle class. Focusing on the latter two, Lacy explores an increasingly important social and demographic group: middle-class blacks who live in middle-class suburbs where poor blacks are not present. These "blue-chip black" suburbanites earn well over fifty thousand dollars annually and work in predominantly white professional environments. Lacy examines the complicated sense of identity that individuals in these groups craft to manage their interactions with lower-class blacks, middle-class whites, and other middle-class blacks as they seek to reap the benefits of their middle-class status. 410 0$aGeorge Gund Foundation Imprint in African American Studies 517 3 $aRace, class, and status in the new Black middle class 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions$y1975-$vCase studies 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity$vCase studies 606 $aMiddle class$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aSocial status$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aAfrican Americans$zWashington Region$xSocial conditions 606 $aAfrican Americans$xRace identity$zWashington Region 606 $aMiddle class$zWashington Region 606 $aSocial status$zWashington Region 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations$vCase studies 607 $aWashington Region$xRace relations 610 $aafrican american culture. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $aassimilation. 610 $ablack middle class. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aidentity. 610 $alower middle class. 610 $amiddle class status. 610 $amiddle class suburbs. 610 $amiddle class. 610 $amiddle middle class. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apost integration. 610 $apublic identity. 610 $apublic spaces. 610 $arace and class. 610 $arace in america. 610 $arace studies. 610 $arace. 610 $asocial class issues. 610 $asocial organization. 610 $asociology. 610 $asuburbanites. 610 $aunited states of america. 610 $aupper middle class. 610 $awashington dc. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 615 0$aMiddle class 615 0$aSocial status 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xRace identity 615 0$aMiddle class 615 0$aSocial status 676 $a305.896/0730722 700 $aLacy$b Karyn R.$f1965-$0792391 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784420703321 996 $aBlue-chip Black$91771822 997 $aUNINA
