Abstract
Abstract Published in 1945, St. Clair Drake and Horace R. Cayton's Black Metropolis was the first comprehensive study of the black community of Bronzeville in Chicago's Southside. Emerging from the Cayton–Warner research project, which was carried out between 1935 and 1937, and written primarily by Drake, with contributions by Cayton, Richard Wright, and William Lloyd Warner, Black Metropolis advanced a social theory of a black community as a “metropolis within a metropolis.” This view of black Chicago made Black Metropolis a pioneering work in the sociology of race relations, urban sociology, and the study of spatial segregation in the city.
