Title: Black Metropolis: African American Urban History
Description: In this seminar we discuss the transformation of the African American population from one rooted in the rural South to one located overwhelmingly in the cities of the North and West. Starting with the post-Civil War era and spanning the twentieth century, our study critiques the impact of urbanization on African American family life, social relations, culture, and political expression. Throughout the course we address not only the “where” and the “who” of the migration, but also the “how” and the “why.” Fall 2008
