Book Review

Southern Migrants, Northern Exiles. By Chad Berry. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2000. xvi, 236 pp. Cloth, $44.95, ISBN 0-252-02429-X. Paper, $21.95, ISBN 0-252-06841-6.)

From the 1920s through the 1970s, millions of rural southerners, black and white, left the grinding labor and archaic economic relations typified by sharecropping and company coal towns for better treatment and better pay in the factories of the Midwest. While most historians are familiar with the African American "Great Migration" of the 1920s, relatively little scholarly work has been done on white southern out-migration. In this monograph focused on southern white migrants to the Midwest, Chad Berry has attempted to fill in the historiographic gap. The result is a book that will speak to historians of the South and the Midwest and to specialists on immigration and African American history, who will mine this book for illuminating points of comparison and contrast. . . .
