From Diversity to Unity is a community study of settlement and adaptation of Southern and Appalachian migrants to the neighborhood of Uptown Chicago. Oral histories; community newspapers; and secondary sources reveal the human experience of urban migration. Following the postwar collapse of the coal industry; Appalachian migration to northern cities increased significantly. Guy examines this migration; placing particular emphasis on the role of women in the settlement of the migrants in a new place. From Diversity to Unity fills a valuable niche in urban and Appalachian history and is ideal for scholars and students of urban and Chicago history as well as Appalachian and ethnic studies.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. disappointingBy Judy BI was hoping this book would have lots of detailed photos giving an insight of how Chinatowns in NY evolved over the century; but it did not. I could of gotten more information and pictures about Chinatown NY doing an web search on the internet. Don't be deceive by the cover of this book cause not all photographs in the book look like the photos chosen for the cover. Most of the pictures in the book are not taken from the same angle as the history picture for a easy comparison on what has changed over the century. Some of the history photos are so blurred that you can hardly makeout anything. I also did not like how this book was put together; it would talk about Manhatten's Chinatown and then jump to Queens Chinatown without properly explaning and then go back to talking about Manhatten's Chinatown. If you are not from New York City you would not know that it was talking about two different places. Very disappointing indeed and not enough info. I'm just glad I brought this on and not pay full price for this book at a bookstore.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. NYC Chinatown Then NowBy Donald O. YeeWished there were much more older photos of NY Chinatown during the early 1900s or before. Many older photos were from the 1950s 1960s.
