Black Hamptons is a newer series from Carl Weber, beginning with the title novel in 2022. The books are set in a fictional affluent Black community in the Hamptons, where old money, new money, and long-standing rivalries create an explosive mix. The setting allows Weber to explore class dynamics within the African American community through the lens of wealthy families with everything to lose.
Gentrification (2025) continues the story and raises the stakes as outside forces threaten the enclave. The series shows Weber working with familiar themes of family loyalty and power struggles in a fresh, upscale setting.
