The South Goes North. Volume III of Children of Crisis.
Coles, Robert
The purpose of this book was to document the plight of poor people who have migrated from the rural areas of the Southern United States and Appalachia and entered the ghettos of northern cities, such as Chicago, Cleveland, New York, and Boston. Data were collected via the author's studies, travels, and interviews. Part I provided the setting for the book and the method. In Part II, the people described are blacks in the city; white visitors; white northerners; and people from the mountains, the Appalachian men, women, and children. "Those Places They Call Schools" and "Teachers and the Children of Poverty" are specific topics of discussion in Part III. "The Way It Is in the Alleys, the Way It Is on the Porches"; "Vitality and Violence, Life and Death"; and "The Lord in Our Cities" are the chapter titles in Part IV. (HBC)
