Description
A A A A A "A model study, one of two or three genuinely indispensable books A A A A A A A on that momentous movement historians know as the Great Migration. Peter A A A A A A A Gottlieb shatters the received portrait of southern migrants as bewildered, A A A A A A A premodern folk, 'utterly unprepared' for the complexities of urban life. A A A A A A A African Americans in his account emerge as complex, creative agents, exploiting A A A A A A A old solidarities and building new ones, transforming the urban landscape A A A A A A A even as it transformed them." -- James Campbell, Northwestern University A A A A A "Engagingly written and well organized. . . . A major addition to A A A A A A A the fields of Afro-American, urban, and working-class history." -- A A A A A A A Howard N. Rabinowitz, Georgia Historical Quarterly A A A A A "Gottlieb uses oral histories, corporate records, and primary and A A A A A A A secondary scholarship to present a useful picture of an important part A A A A A A A of the Great Migration that followed World War I." -- George Lipsitz, A A A A A A A Choice A A A A A "Sensitive and yet also incisive. . . . clear and often compelling. A A A A A A A An outstanding study." --A James R. Barrett, Journal of American A A A A A A A Ethnic History A A A A A Publication of this work was supported in part by a grant from the A A A A A A A Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. A
