The Great Migration by J. Fitzgerald Lee is a comprehensive account of the mass movement of African Americans from the rural South to the urban North between 1915 and 1960. The book explores the economic, social, and political factors that led to this migration, as well as its impact on both the migrants and the cities they settled in.Lee provides a detailed analysis of the push and pull factors that drove African Americans to leave the South, including the lure of better jobs and living conditions in the North, as well as the violence and discrimination they faced in the South. He also examines the challenges and opportunities that awaited them in the North, including the difficulties of finding housing, employment, and community support.Throughout the book, Lee draws on a range of primary sources, including census data, government reports, and personal narratives, to paint a vivid picture of the Great Migration and its lasting impact on American society. He also sheds light on the ways in which this migration shaped the civil rights movement and the struggle for racial equality in the United States.Overall, The Great Migration is a compelling and informative read that offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on one of the most significant demographic shifts in American history.1932. The origin of the Jewish people and materials towards the solution of a world problem. This work clearly represents the prolonged study of a man who has abandoned speculative theory for scientific inquiry. The results of the author's research are arresting. The close connection which this book demonstrates between the theology, the folklore and the customs of North and Central America and those of the Semitic races as they appear in the first gleams of history in the Near East, is quite striking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
