Concept information
Preferred term
black bourgeoisie
Definition
- From the origin of the Black bourgeoisie in the United States until the present, the intransigency of race and racism, along with social and economic shifts, has shaped the definition of who belongs to this upper stratum of Black society, its members' stratification patterns within the Black community, and the relationship of its members to the dominant White society and the masses of Blacks. This dynamic racial pattern is evident in the historic development of the Black bourgeoisie from three periods: emancipation to 1915, 1915 to 1960, and 1960 to the present.
