Abstract: 
Using the South Side of Chicago as a microcosm, Spear analyzes the creation and circumstances that caused the 'Negro' 'ghetto' to form the way that it did. From back cover 'Allan Spear explores here the history of a major Negro community during a crucial thirty-year period when a relatively fluid pattern of race relations gave way to a rigid system of segregation and discrimination'.
