This book looks at the movement of urban blacks into small-city
America through the experience of Iowa City, a town desperately
trying to redefine itself. As Chicago's urban poor have moved
deeper into the Midwest, pressing questions have plagued smaller
communities for decades: Why are people from Chicago coming here?
What impact have they had on the community? What is the appropriate
response? This book examines how the region and its
ever-diversifying small cities continue to struggle with deciding
who gets to define community identity and who makes decisions on
housing, employment and education. Also discussed is how
institutionalised white supremacy operated through news coverage
and public policy to subjugate Iowa City's new arrivals. This
volume is well-suited for scholars and students interested in
unpacking the power of geography, language, and the media.
