From the Paper:

""The Great Migration and the Consolidation of the Ghetto" examines how one significant socio-economic development can result in the creation of another socio-economic development. In this case this chapter demonstrates how the great migration of black people into Cleveland eventually resulted in the creation of a black ghetto. The thesis of the author appears to be that although the great migration was the result of economic factors, the creation of the black ghetto was the result of social factors. According to the chapter's author, The responses of both the Negro and white communities to this problem helped shape and delimit the lives of northern Negroes for decades afterward (157)."
