title: The relative impact of migration type on the reversal of black out-migration from the South.
abstract: "In this article historical patterns and recent trends in black migration in the United States are examined.  The purpose of the article is two-fold: (1) to examine historical changes in the volume and rates of migration between the southern region and nonsouthern regions; and (2) to determine the relative impact of migration types on the South's changeover to net in-migration during the 1975-1980 migration interval.... The single most important factor influencing the turnaround was a decrease in the number of southern-born blacks migrating out of the region.  This finding is contrary to much current speculation about the role of return migrants in influencing the South's changeover to net in-migration for the black population."
