There Goes the Neighborhood (eBook, ePUB)

Racial, Ethnic, and Class Tensions in Four Chicago Neighborhoods and Their Meani ng for America

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From one of America's most admired sociologists and urban policy advisers, There Goes the Neighborhood is a long-awaited look at how race, class, and ethnicity influence one of Americans' most personal choices—where we choose to live. The result of a three-year study of four working- and lower-middle class neighborhoods in Chicago, these riveting first-person narratives and the meticulous research which accompanies them reveal honest yet disturbing realities—ones that remind us why the elusive American dream of integrated neighborhoods remains a priority of race relations in our time.
