'Strangers in the Land of Paradise discusses the creation of an African American community as a distinct cultural entity. It describes values and institutions that the Black migrant population brought with them from the South, as well as those that evolved as a result of their interaction with Blacks native to the city and the city itself. Through an examination of work, family, community organizations, and political actions, Lillian Williams explores the process by which the migrants adapted to their new environment.' |
