Though often associated with explicitly racist laws of the past, it is a phenomenon that persists to this day and is a crucial element for understanding group relations and the wellbeing of different populations in society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this book, Eric Fong, Kumiko Shibuya, and Brent Berry provide a thorough discussion of the evolving complexity of segregation in its variety and variations. The authors focus not only on past trends and the development of segregation measures, but also the current state of affairs, and demonstrate the connections between the segregation of racial\/ethnic groups and immigrant communities, along with poverty concentration. By taking a wide, cross-cutting view, the authors identify commonalities and differences in the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of segregation. Spatial and social segregation together perpetuate and reinforce the unequal distribution of resources among racial and ethnic groups, which in turn can have positive and negative consequences for individuals and groups.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis critical overview of segregation will be a valuable and insightful resource for students of sociology, geography, and ethnic studies, as well as those keen to get a handle on this persistent challenge to equal and inclusive societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eCHAPTER 1  INTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 2  WHAT IS SEGREGATION?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 3  THE MEASUREMENT OF SEGREGATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 4  RACIAL AND ETHNIC RESIDENTIAL PATTERNS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 5  INCOME SEGREGATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 6  ETHNIC COMMUNITIES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 7  RESIDENTIAL AND SOCIAL SEGREGATION OF IMMIGRANTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CHAPTER 8  CONCLUSION\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52441795526936,"sku":"9781509534746","price":42.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781509534746.jpg?v=1785025847","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/segregation-hardback-9781509534746","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
