A Transplanted Chicago: Race, Place and the Press in Iowa City

By Robert E Gutsche and Robert E. Gutsche Jr.

This book looks at the movement of urban American blacks into the Midwest through the experience of Iowa City, a town desperately trying to redefine itself. Pressing questions have plagued the community for decades: Why are people from Chicago coming here? Who gets to define community identity? Who makes decisions on housing, employment and education?
