Talks about the southern exodus and its impact on American life.
Between 1900 and the 1970s, twenty million southerners migrated
north and west. Weaving together for the first time the histories
of black and white migrants, James N. Gregory traces their paths
and experiences in a comprehensive new study that demonstrates how
this regional diaspora reshaped America by ""southernizing""
communities and transforming important cultural and political
institutions. Challenging the image of the migrants as helpless and
poor, Gregory shows how both black and white southerners used their
new surroundings to become agents of change. Combining personal
stories with cultural, political, and demographic analysis, he
argues that the migrants helped create both the modern civil rights
movement and modern conservatism. They spurred changes in American
religion, notably modern evangelical Protestantism, and in popular
culture, including the development of blues, jazz, and country
music. In a sweeping account that pioneers new understandings of
the impact of mass migrations, Gregory recasts the history of
twentieth-century America. He demonstrates that the southern
diaspora was crucial to transformations in the relationship between
American regions, in the politics of race and class, and in the
roles of religion, the media, and culture.
