- Abstract
The arrival of tens of thousands of African American migrants during and after World War II dramatically transformed the Northern California cities of Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond and reshaped the politics of California. This article explores their impact on the political economy of these cities and suggests how their experiences presaged the transformation of urban America.
