"This work traces the 20th-century mass-migration of black people from the rural South America to the urban north, between 1940 and 1970, examining the effects of such movement on the nature of life, politics and society. The migration originated in the invention of the mechanical cotton-picker, which made the sharecropper system obsolete. It caused, as Lemann explains, five million blacks to move north, made race a national issue, and gave the whole country "a measure of the tragic sense that had previously been confined to the South." Lemann shows how the migration changed the pattern of city life, disrupted education, made street crime an obsessive concern; changed voting patterns in the country as a whole, and gave birth to the idea that government programmes don't work. This book accompanies a BBC five-part series which was broadcast in the autumn of 1995." ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall ., Pan Books, 1995, 3<
