Leah Boustan challenges this view, arguing instead that the migration produced winners and losers within the black community. Boustan shows that migrants themselves gained tremendously, more than doubling their earnings by moving North. But these new arrivals competed with existing black workers, limiting black-white wage convergence in Northern labor markets and slowing black economic growth. Furthermore, many white households responded to the black migration by relocating to the suburbs. White flight was motivated not only by neighborhood racial change but also by the desire on the part of white residents to avoid participating in the local public services and fiscal obligations of increasingly diverse cities.Employing historical census data and state-of-the-art econometric methods, Competition in the Promised Land revises our understanding of the Great Black Migration and its role in the transformation of American society.NBER series on long-term factors in economic development.HISTORY / Social HistorybisacshHISTORY / United States / 20th CenturybisacshBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / GeneralbisacshBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / LaborbisacshBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic HistorybisacshAfrican AmericansSocial conditions20th centuryAfrican AmericansEconomic conditions20th centuryRural-urban migrationUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMigration, InternalUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAfrican AmericansMigrationsHistory20th centuryHISTORY / Social History.HISTORY / United States / 20th Century.BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / General.BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor.BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History.African AmericansSocial conditionsAfrican AmericansEconomic conditionsRural-urban migrationHistoryMigration, InternalHistoryAfrican AmericansMigrationsHistory305.896073BUS023000BUS038000BUS092000HIS036060HIS054000bisacshBoustan Leah Platt1178481DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910148638703321Competition in the Promised Land2737050UNINA01071nam a2200313 i 450099100077070970753620020507173355.0970108s1994 us ||| | eng 0883855100b1075491x-39ule_instLE01302062ExLDip.to Matematicaeng515.92AMS 00A35AMS 30-01AMS 30-XXHahn, Liang-shin534949Complex numbers and geometry /Liang-shin HahnWashington :MAA (Mathematical Association of America),c1994x, 192 p. ;22 cm.MAA spectrumFunctions of a complex variable-textbooksMethodology of mathematics.b1075491x23-02-1728-06-02991000770709707536LE013 30-XX HAH11 (1994)12013000069456le013-E0.00-l- 01010.i1084906328-06-02Complex numbers and geometry911279UNISALENTOle01301-01-97ma -engus 01
