- Summary:
- In 'Black Neighbors', Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn analyzes this reluctance by the mainstream settlement house movement to extend its programs to African American communities, which she argues, were assisted instead by a variety of alternative organizations. Lasch-Quinn recasts the traditional definitions, periods, and regional divisions of settlement work and uncovers a vast settlement movement among African Americans.
