Black metropolis : a study of Negro life in a northern city
St Clair Drake (Author), Richard Wright (Writer of introduction), William J. Wilson, Horace R. Cayton
"Ground-breaking when first published in 1945, Black Metropolis remains a landmark study of race and urban life. Based on a mass of research conducted by Works Progress Administration field workers in the late 1930s, it is a historical and sociological account of the people of Chicago's South Side, the classic urban ghetto. Drake and Cayton's findings not only offer a generalized analysis of Black migration, settlement, community structure, and Black-white race relations in the early part of the twentieth century, but also tell us what has changed in the last hundred years and what has not. This edition includes the original Introduction by Richard Wright and a new Foreword by William Julius Wilson."--Publisher's description
