More about the book

The book explores the significant impact of nearly four million black migrants who moved from the rural South to industrial cities in the North and West between 1940 and 1970. It examines how this migration reshaped labor markets and altered urban environments in the receiving areas, highlighting the enduring effects on both communities and economies. Through a detailed analysis, it sheds light on the complexities of competition and integration faced by these workers in their new settings.
