This week, the students enrolled in "The Nineteenth Century" will begin reading A Hair-Dresser's Experience in the High Life by Eliza Potter, a nineteenth century woman of mixed race. Potter's up-close experiences with wealthy whites and her travels to many places including Saratoga, Canada, London, Paris and Cincinnati allow us to ponder whether she is one of the "city people" that Gunther Barth describes. The heading of this blog entry comes from her memoir, which was published in 1859.
