Anyplace but here

Originally published in 1945 as "They Seek a City," this classic was revised and expanded in 1966 to include chapters on Marcus Garvey, the Black Muslims, Malcolm X, and the racial disturbances in Detroit, Chicago, and Watts. Filled with stories about real men and women who sought a new life in the North, "Anyplace But Here" depicts the theme of hope, undercut by disappointment, and hope renewed as it details the African American's search for a home.
