"Doctoral Dissertation Research: Race and Patterns of Migration in the Southern Move to the Industrial Corrider 1910-1980

本论文项目将比较20世纪南方白人和非裔美国人迁移到辛辛那提和印第安纳波利斯这两个中西部城市的移民经历。该项目的主要目标是确定和解释三种移徙模式--移徙差异、阶梯移徙和回返移徙--同时特别注意这些模式如何因种族、城市环境和时间的不同而变化。该项目将利用广泛的量化和文献来源，包括1910年至1980年美国人口普查的综合公共使用微数据样本。市级数据的主要来源是县婚姻记录样本，其中包含关于新娘和新郎及其父母的种族、年龄、出生地、职业和住所的信息。口述历史、报纸和组织记录将提供补充材料。

This dissertation project will compare the 20th century migration experiences of southern whites and African Americans who moved to two midwestern cities, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. The key goals of the project are to identify and interpret three migration patterns-migration differentials, step migration and return migration-while paying special attention to how these patterns varied by race, urban setting and over time. The project will draw from a broad range of quantitative and documentary sources, including the Integrated Public Use Microdata Samples from U.S. censuses of 1910 through 1980. The main sources for city-level data are samples of county marriage records, which contain information on race, age, birthplace, occupation and residence for the bride and groom and their parents. Oral histories, newspapers, and organizational records will provide supplementary material.
