Pro & Con: "The Great Sharecropper Success Story."

Lemann, Nicholas; Whitman, David

Public Interest, n105 p107-22 Fall 1991

Comprises "The Underclass and the Great Migration" (N. Lemann) and "The Migrants' Tale and Ghetto Culture" (D. Whitman). Lemann's book "The Promised Land" discusses the Black migration to northern U.S. states. Whitman argues that Lemann exaggerates the Black sharecropper's contribution to the development of the national underclass. Lemann refines his views. (SLD)
