- catalog abstract ""What were the causes that motivated [about 5 million] black southerners to immigrate to the North? What was the impact upon the land they left and upon the communities they chose for their new homes? Perhaps no pattern of migration has changed America's socioeconomic structure more than this mass exodus of African-Americans in the first half of the twentieth century. Because of this exodus, the South lost not only a huge percentage of its inhabitants to northern cities like Chicago, New York, Detroit, and Philadelphia, but also its supply of cheap labor. Fleeing from racial injustice and poverty, southern blacks took their culture north with them and transformed northern urban centers with their churches, social institutions, and ways of life. [In this book] eight noted scholars consider the causes that stimulated the migration and examine the extensive far-reaching results. They consider also the roles assumed by black southerners who elected to remain in the South and the leverage their presence exerted for social change"--Book jacket.".
