Sinopsis

Are Blacks in America immune from criticism? Are they never responsible for their own failures? And most importantly, is Black rule the end for an American city? Paul Kersey answers these questions with an emphatic "yes" in this controversial account of the fall of Atlanta, through forty-five articles on the topic, originally posted to his SBPDL Blog at The Unz Review between 2011 and 2012. 

Black Mecca Down shows the tragic aftermath of the Civil Rights Movement in the decline of a once great city. Atlanta, GA, once dubbed "The City Too Busy To Hate," was supposed to be the model city for the New South, a thriving metropolis that would show the old Confederacy had moved beyond race and joined the global economy. Instead, Kersey argues, Atlanta became a Black dystopia dominated by corruption, incompetence, and crime. Starting with Maynard Jackson, Atlanta's first Black mayor, the greatest city in the South followed the pattern of Detroit, with basic institutions collapsing even as the cries of "racism" increased.

Paul Kersey's uproarious anthology, Black Mecca Down: The Fall of the City Too Busy to Hate, was originally published in 2012, has since fallen out of print, and is now being resurrected and preserved by Antelope Hill Publishing in a newly-edited and thoroughly cited edition.

  • North to Boston - Life Histories from the Black Great Migration in New England - cover

    North to Boston - Life Histories...

    Between World War II and 1980, tens of thousands of Black people moved to Boston from the South as part of the Great Migration, one of the most consequential mass movements of people in American history. Black migration from the South transformed the city, as it did urban areas across the country. North to Boston is the first book to examine that important subject. 
     
     
     
    Blake Gumprecht traces the history of this migration and explores its impacts in greater depth through the lives of ten individuals, each the subject of one chapter. Those chapters are short biographies based on extensive interviews by the author and are told in an engaging style that reflects the author's background as a journalist. 
     
     
     
    The ten people featured came from six southern states. They fled racism, limited opportunity, and hopelessness, and moved north in pursuit of better jobs, equal treatment, and greater freedom. They settled in neighborhoods such as Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. They worked as teachers, factory workers, welders, and security guards. Their stories are emblematic of the experiences of Black people everywhere who left the South, and provide a rare glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in one city's Black community.
