Customer Reviews

This is the best on the subject

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."
