Loved this discussion! My work in the medium of PHOTOGRAPHY and DESIGN is all about self presentation. In my life I've recognized, understood and documented the culture of self presentation in America and the world.
Excellent exploration of a world that so many, even blacks are ignorant of even though it‘s been under everyone’s nose, if not in their face, this whole time. A world that still exists, though fragmented, worn, marginalized and diluted. Thank you for your contributions to black history. Im a millenial, but sometimes I feel like my black experience and family run counter to the en vogue black narratives. You‘ve helped reconcile this disconnect for me. Just ordered both of your books!
Negroland had a great start but was filled with waffling and jargon halfway through. Still a great aspect of Black-American history that I want to learn about.
My father (born 1922) and four black siblings were born in San Francisco in the early 20th century. This dialogue is extremely meaningful to me. Such as dressing to represent the race. I own at lest 30k worth of Italian suits, sport coats and shoes. I only saw my dad wear tennis shoes once. My father never had an noticeable accent at least not to me and I certainly use no accent in my English and pride myself on using perfect English.

I absolutely agree

Theres no such thing as perfect English!
SHE Is The BEST.
Mr. Pinckney's voice tone does not sound natural and Ms. Jefferson's speech and hand expressions come off as an affectation.
I disagree they both were raised as upper class Blacks from families that had generational wealth.
