In episode 43 we’re thrilled to welcome back to the podcast CARLA L. PETERSON, author of the 2011 book Black Gotham: A Family History of African Americans in Nineteenth-Century New York City. Carla’s book served as a resource for the creation of the characters, story, and the Black community in HBO’s THE GILDED AGE now in its second season.


In this podcast Carla takes us inside the parties, pleasures, and fashionable lifestyles of New York's Black middle class of the 19th century, and talks about how the philsophy of "taste" informed the lives of that century's Black American elite. We also talk about how the separate and elite lives of 19th century New York “old money” represented by the van Rijns, “new money” in the Russell family, and the Black elite portrayed by the Scott family are interpreted for THE GILDED AGE.
