Hi Fiction-L'rs, hope you can help.
I have a patron looking for a book, about 4-5 years old, author unknown, about wealthy African American families in the US. It is non-fiction. This is all she can tell me.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.

I think the book you are looking for may be:


Our kind of people : inside America's Black upper class by Lawrence Otis
Graham
published in 1999.

Stephen Birmingham (whose nonfiction social histories are great) wrote
Certain People: America's Black Elite but it is much older than 4-5 years.

Many thanks to Deborah Walsh - my patron was looking for Our Kind of People: inside America's Black Upper Class by Lawrence Otis Graham.
