Marcia Chatelain recasts Chicago's Great Migration through the lens of black girlhood. She argues that the construction of black girlhood in Chicago between 1910 and 1940 reflected the black community's anxieties about urbanization and its meaning for racial progress, as well as responses to major events and social crises.
