{"product_id":"black-exodus-alferdteen-harrison-9780878056095","title":"Black Exodus: The Great Migration from the American South","description":"What were the causes that motivated legions of 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. \u003cp\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBlack Exodus\u003c\/i\u003e eight noted scholars consider the causes that stimulated the migration and examine the far-reaching results.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alferdteen Harrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878056092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878056095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.53h x 5.57w x 0.42d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alferdteen Harrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135257755903,"sku":"9780878056095","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0cdadce-1438-4e86-800f-f0566b2e8ad6.jpg?v=1755009607","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/black-exodus-alferdteen-harrison-9780878056095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
