		The Great Migration is a term used to describe the mass migration of African Americans from the southern United States to the industrial centers of the Northeast and Midwest between the 1910s and 1960s.
		The routes north came to be known as the "chicken bone express," because of the supposed litter left by the migrants from their lunches by the side of the road as they moved.

	Great Migration: An Interpretation
		Black migration studies of the wartime and postwar years included discussions of a range of precipitating push factors on the southern end, pull forces on the northern end, and, to some extent, the role of fl family and kinship networks on both ends.
		That the lack of labor at the North, due mainly to the ceasing of immigration from Europe, was the occasion of the migration all agree.
		Black migration was indeed shaped by larger economic, social, and political changes in national and international capitalism, but fl migrants were also active agents in their own movement into the industrial city.

	Swallows and Settlers: The Great Migration from North China to Manchuria
		The great contribution of Thomas Gottschang (Professor of Economics, College of the Holy Cross) is a painstaking and pathbreaking compilation and analysis of the statistics of migration; in particular, his estimates of the dimensions of the migration are likely to remain standard in the field.
		Five major chapters deal with the statistical and other contours of the migration, with the push and pull forces that shaped that migration, with the roles of the family and of local connections, and with return migration, before a conclusion sums up the lessons of the study and brings the story up to date.
		Two central conclusions of the study are that "pull" forces generated by economic development in Manchuria were the key determinant of migration, and that migration decisions were made almost entirely in the context of family rather than individual strategies.
