Description
The Great Migration brought immense political, economic, and cultural change to the United States as millions of African-Americans left the South in search of social, economic, and political justice.

Reviews:
-"The movement of southern African Americans to the urban North and Far West over the course of the 20th century was one of the most profound demographic and cultural transformations of the United States. Reich presents some 400 essays that explore the causes, experiences, and consequences of the Great Migration in the first two volumes of this set.... Essays are cross-referenced and provide guides to further reading. A third volume contains 76 primary source documents taken from contemporary newspapers, literary works, memoirs, and other sources." —Reference & Research Book News/Art Book News Annual
-"Between World War I and 1970, millions of African Americans migrated to cities in the industrial north and far west. This migration deeply affected not just American society in general but the lives and collective culture of millions of black people....Since the study of the black migration can be conceived through many different scholarly disciplines-sociology, history, literature, African American studies, and more-many advanced students initiating an investigation of the subject will find these easy-to-read volumes a helpful starting place. To this reviewer's knowledge, no other encyclopedia-style reference covers this topic so extensively. A valuable addition to high school and public libraries as well as to academic libraries supporting history, sociology, or African American studies programs." —Library Journal
