Negro Migration During the War (1920)

Negro Migration During The War is a historical non-fiction book written by Emmett Jay Scott and published in 1920. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the mass migration of African Americans from the southern states to the northern states during World War I. Scott, who was the personal secretary to Booker T. Washington, discusses the social, economic, and political factors that led to the migration, as well as the experiences of the migrants themselves. He explores the push factors that drove African Americans to leave the South, such as discrimination, poverty, and violence, as well as the pull factors that attracted them to the North, such as job opportunities and greater freedom.The book also examines the impact of the migration on both the North and the South, including the changes in racial dynamics, labor relations, and urbanization. Scott provides detailed statistics and case studies to support his arguments, and draws from a wide range of sources including government reports, newspaper articles, and personal interviews.Overall, Negro Migration During The War is a seminal work on the history of African American migration and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the social and political history of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
