From Diversity to Unity - Southern and Appalachian Migrants in Uptown Chicago, 1950-1970 (Paperback)

From Diversity to Unity is a community study of settlement and adaptation of Southern and Appalachian migrants to the neighborhood of Uptown Chicago. Oral histories, community newspapers, and secondary sources reveal the human experience of urban migration. Following the postwar collapse of the coal industry, Appalachian migration to northern cities increased significantly. Guy examines this migration, placing particular emphasis on the role of women in the settlement of the migrants in a new place.From Diversity to Unity fills a valuable niche in urban and Appalachian history and is ideal for scholars and students of urban and Chicago history as well as Appalachian and ethnic studies.
