Synopsis:

Economic growth and population gain in the southern states have been among the most significant internal developments in the USA in recent decades. This book examines the dynamics of population change (birth and death rates and net migration) from the early 19th century to the present time, distinguishing between the experiences of black and white populations. It then relates these experiences to changes in economic life and the geographical distribution of the population, focusing finally on two case studies in Florida and Mississippi. The text is aimed at A level and undergraduate geography students and includes a selection of past A level examination questions and assignments to encourage students to use and understand the data provided.
