In my diploma thesis called Black Novels on the 20th Century African American Northward Migration I am going to examine the novel in African American literature with a particular focus on the migration from the South to the North inside the United States following the First World War. At first the work will recapitulate the history of this African American migration - its causes and its effects. The motif of the North as the "promised land" and how, in most cases, migrant characters in these works experienced this form of the "American Dream" myth will be analyzed. Finally, the racism by whites of the South will be compared to the racism by whites in the North.
