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. 410 0$aNBER series on long-term factors in economic development. 606 $aHISTORY / Social History$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / United States / 20th Century$2bisacsh 606 $aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / General$2bisacsh 606 $aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor$2bisacsh 606 $aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History$2bisacsh 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 606 $aRural-urban migration$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMigration, Internal$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aAfrican Americans$xMigrations$xHistory$y20th century 615 7$aHISTORY / Social History. 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / 20th Century. 615 7$aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Development / General. 615 7$aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Labor. 615 7$aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic History. 615 7$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 615 7$aAfrican Americans$xEconomic conditions 615 7$aRural-urban migration$xHistory 615 7$aMigration, Internal$xHistory 615 7$aAfrican Americans$xMigrations$xHistory 676 $a305.896073 686 $aBUS023000$aBUS038000$aBUS092000$aHIS036060$aHIS054000$2bisacsh 700 $aBoustan$b Leah Platt$01178481 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148638703321 996 $aCompetition in the Promised Land$92737050 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01096nam0 22002771i 450 001 UON00098681 005 20231205102543.438 100 $a20020107d1958 |0itac50 ba 101 $aeng 102 $aIN 105 $a|||| 1|||| 200 1 $aˆThe ‰Indian Buddhist Iconography$emainly based on the Sadhanamala and cognate tantric texts of rituals$fBenoytosh Bhattacharyya 205 $a2nd ed. rev 210 $aCalcutta$cMukhopadhyay$d1958 215 $axxxiii, 478 p.$cill.$d26 cm 606 $aICONOGRAFIA BUDDHISTA$xINDIA$3UONC000239$2FI 620 $aIN$dCalcutta$3UONL000111 676 $a755$cICONOGRAFIA SACRA$v21 700 1$aBHATTACHARYYA$bBenoytosh$3UONV028163$0645671 712 $aMukhopadhyay$3UONV247606$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20240220$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00098681 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI GLOTT B 3 III 048 $eSI MR 64534 5 048 996 $aIndian Buddhist iconography$91157650 997 $aUNIOR
