New York: Hill and Wang. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1966 (c.1945). Revised Edition First Printing. Hardcover. [light shelfwear, very slight bump to lower front corner, a few very slightly scrunched lower page corners; the jacket has a few tiny nicks along the top and bottom edges, minor scuffing to the front panel, some fading at the spine]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by co-author Conroy on the front endpaper: "For my old friends / Gib and Liz Roche / hoping this will / recall the old South / side days / Jack / 4-18-64." Classic study of African-American migration within the United States, originally published in 1945 under the title "They Seek a City." In a new preface for this edition, author Bontemps states that in the original book they "were dealing with currents that were still running vigorously [and that] to that extent our book was premature. ... Needless to say, twenty years of change and unforeseen developments have made it necessary to recast most of the original chapters of the book and to add a number of new ones."
