Classic study of African-American migration within the United States, originally published in 1945 under the title "They Seek a City." In a new preface for this edition, author Bontemps states that in the original book they "were dealing with currents that were still running vigorously [and that] to that extent our book was premature. . Needless to say, twenty years of change and unforeseen developments have made it necessary to recast most of the original chapters of the book and to add a number of new ones." Selected bibliography; index. Signed by One Author. Illustrated by (dj design) Saul Lambert (illustrator).
