The Great Migration of Black Americans from the US South : A Guide and Interpretation

William J. Collins

The Great Migration from the US South is a prominent theme in economic history research not only because it was a prime example of large scale internal migration, but also because it had far-reaching ramifications for American economic, social, and political change. This essay offers a concise review of the literature focused on questions of timing, selection, and migrants' outcomes, and then offers a more speculative interpretation of how the Great Migration fostered the advancement of Civil Rights
