As a fellow researcher in the area of Southern to Northern migration, Grossman's book has been invaluable to me. It is well written, well researched, and immensely interesting. It is the best book on the first great black Southern migration to Chicago, "The Land of Hope."

Excellent read on migration to Chicago

This book is really boring. I had to buy it for school. But it's only half as long as it looks. It has a long bibliography

as expected

Book was written in and I thought the seller was seliing a NEW book, but it was clearly USED very disappointed.
