Book excerpt: With the novelistic verve that helped make "All Our Kin "a beloved, classic work, Carol Stack tells the story of a little-known yet compelling reverse exodus--of half a million black Americans in the cities of the North, who heard a call to return home to the rural South. Skillfully evoking the terrain of Carolina towns she calls Burdy's Bend, New Jericho, and Rosedale, Stack interweaves a powerful human story with a larger economic and social analysis of migration, families, and poverty. "Call to Home" offers a rare glimpse of African-American communities pulling together, determined to make it in today's America.
