Description

Segregation is a stark social reality that persists in contemporary societies. This book provides a thorough discussion of its evolving complexity, exploring both past trends and current state of affairs. By examining the connections between segregation of racial/ethnic groups and immigrant communities, poverty concentration, and their impact on individuals and groups, the authors shed light on this persistent challenge to equal and inclusive societies. The authors take a wide, cross-cutting view, identifying commonalities and differences in the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of segregation. This critical overview highlights how spatial and social segregation perpetuate unequal distributions of resources among racial and ethnic groups, with far-reaching implications for individuals and groups alike. This book will be a valuable resource for students of sociology, geography, and ethnic studies, offering insights into this pressing issue that is essential for understanding group relations and the wellbeing of different populations in society.
