The Good the Black and the Boujee

<p><b>The gospel of black ambition and a</b><b> landmark portrait of black Britain now.</b><br><br><i>The Good, the Black and the Boujee</i> is a provocative reckoning with how class and gender shape modern black Britain. With archival depth and stylish prose, Symeon Brown profiles the invisible tribes wielding influence in Britain.<br><br>Whether examining the rise of black Conservative power brokers or tracing the assimilation of a black elite, Brown renders visible the psychological and material cost of class aspiration.<br><br>Brown has undertaken the largest known data study of the black middle class to reveal what many feel but can''t say: the preference of educated black women to be single, the crippling isolation of social mobility and how the triumph of black elites masks the barriers facing the black working class. <br><br>This is not simply a portrait of a class in motion, but a forensic study of how race, capital and identity entwine - and what''s lost, or sometimes found, along the way.</p>
