About

A transplanted Chicago: Race, place and the press in Iowa City (McFarland) explores the migration of black residents from inner-city Chicago to an Iowa City, Iowa neighborhood, a form of diaspora that has been met in recent years with increased stigmatization in news and public discourses. Royalties from this project are donated to the Community Foundation of Johnson County (Iowa).
