Black Migration in America from 1915-1960: An Uneasy Exodus (Studies in Twentieth Century American History)

This is a study of why large numbers of Southern black Americans migrated to Chicago during the years 1915-1960. It seeks to explain the causation, motivation, and rationale based on the internal feelings and aspirations of the migrants. It also seeks to find internal motivation for the migration that is as strong as, or stronger than, the usual theory of the "push-pull" economic cycle.
