Description for The New Noir: Race, Identity, and Diaspora in Black Suburbia
From the Inside Flap "In The New Noir, Orly Clerge skillfully documents the changing meaning of Blackness for today&;s diasporic Black middle class. Combining ethnography, interviews; and insights from her own life experience, she draws a nuanced and insightful portrait that defies stereotypes and lays new theoretical grounds for exploring the intersections of class, ethnicity and race."&;Philip Kasinitz, Presidential Professor of Sociology, The Graduate Center, City University of New York&;Stuart Hall meets E. Franklin Frazier in the suburbs of New York. The New Noir is an illuminating and provocative ethnographic monograph that documents the rise of a new, multicultural black middle class. Clerge speaks to the dynamic nature of these spaces, backing up her observations with statistics. Urgent, timely, and well-written &; a work of importance.&;&;Elijah Anderson, Yale University, author of Code of the Street and The Cosmopolitan Canopy."Orly Clerge&;s The New Noir is an elegantly written, important, and startling account of the position of the diasporic Black and Caribbean American community in the middle-class suburban areas of New York City and Long Island. Using compelling culinary metaphors, Clerge demonstrates the struggles of Haitian and Jamaican professionals to gain a foothold in a pair of complex racial communities, negotiating their position with African Americans as well as the white middle and working classes. This is truly a new Noir and a surprising one for those unaware of the many changes that immigration has brought about in the 21st century. The New Noir will take its place with the best ethnographies of race."&;Gary Alan Fine, Northwestern University, coauthor, Whispers on the Color Line: Rumor and Race in America. "The New Noir is a new and important addition to research on race/ethnicity, mobility, migration, place making, and black middle class diasporas, as it examines the variations within the black middle class in a way that has not been done before."&;Jody Agius Vallejo, Associate Professor of Sociology and American Studies and Ethnicity, University of Southern California Read more From the Back Cover 'In�The New Noir, Orly Clerge skillfully documents the changing meaning of Blackness for today�s diasporic Black middle class.
