Alley Life in Washington: Family, Community, Religion, and Folklife in the City, 1850-1970 (Blacks in the New World)
From the back cover - "Borchert has jimmyed open the window to alley life, provided an important glimpse into a lower class black community, struck a powerful blow against those who view lower-class black life as a series of pathologies, and, from a methodological point of view, demonstrated how photographs can be made to speak to an argument rather than decorate a book - all of which makes "Alley Life in Washington" a significant contribution to the literature of black and urban history." - Ira Berlin, "Journal of Interdisciplinary History"
