Black Americans in North Carolina and the South

This collection of six essays reveals the richness and variety of black life in the South. Discussed are social, political, economic, and intellectual trends in black history; a demographic analysis of the state's black population; new approaches to the study of blacks in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century South; the discrimination faced by black northern tachers in the 1850s; the northern migration of blacks during World War I; and the rise and fall of the black medical school.
