This paper uses an analytic migration framework to assess the aggregate impact of selected community level factors on white population losses in central cities of large metropolitan areas. This framework describes analytically distinct components of local and long distance migration streams which contribute directly to central city population…

Examines characteristics of the residential movement of a sample of individual black households in both segregated and integrated neighborhoods in twelve large cities of the northern and western United States, reporting analyses of the process of adjustment to a new environment the "mover-stayer" concept, and the integration status of a migrant's…

A total of 19 charts, each with a brief narrative interpretation, present information on major features of population trends in the United States. Residents of 212 metropolitan areas (central cities with population of 50,000 or more) equalled 64 percent of the population of the U.S. in 1968. The distribution of the population differed greatly by…

Critiques Nicholas Lemann's recent book on the 1940-70 Black migration from the South to the urban North, particularly the thesis that the modern-day Black urban underclass is composed mainly of ex-sharecroppers and their descendants.

The objectives of this study are several; to examine one segment of the Dominican immigrant group from a social anthropoligical perspective; to record the nature of the immigration and describe selected aspects of those social structural arrangements which reflect the process of acculturation, thereby placing it in the broader perspective of other…
