Book excerpt: In the United States, today, quality of life depends heavily on where one lives, but high levels of racial segregation in residential communities make it frustratingly difficult to disentangle the effects of place from those of race. Gregory Squires and Charis Kubrin tackle these issues head-on, exploring how inequities resulting from the intersection of race and place, coupled with the effects of public policy, permeate and shape structures of opportunity in the United States.

Download or read book Public Opinion written by William A. Blade and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-four news networks, a plethora of newspapers and magazines, vibrant news-talk radio, and the ubiquitous Internet highlight our society as information-driven. With such a steady stream of hard facts mixed with publicised opinions, the mainstream population has an opinion on everything. Most anyone seems itching to argue their side of an issue, making once private beliefs fodder for general consumption. A staple of any medium's content is a regular public opinion poll on whatever hot topic strikes the editor's fancy. From the significant to the mundane, public opinion permeates society. Accordingly, politicians have taken note of these opinions and adopted stands and values that put them in tune with public sentiment. An understanding of the nature of public opinion, therefore, is paramount in today's world. This book assembles and presents a carefully chosen bibliography on public opinion in its many forms. The collection of references makes for a valuable resource in studying and researching the critical issue of public opinion. Easy access to these pieces of literature are then provided with author, title, and subject indexes.
Download or read book American Apartheid written by Douglas Massey and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This powerful and disturbing book clearly links persistent poverty among blacks in the United States to the unparalleled degree of deliberate segregation they experience in American cities. American Apartheid shows how the black ghetto was created by whites during the first half of the twentieth century in order to isolate growing urban black populations. It goes on to show that, despite the Fair Housing Act of 1968, segregation is perpetuated today through an interlocking set of individual actions, institutional practices, and governmental policies. In some urban areas the degree of black segregation is so intense and occurs in so many dimensions simultaneously that it amounts to “hypersegregation.” Douglas Massey and Nancy Denton demonstrate that this systematic segregation of African Americans leads inexorably to the creation of underclass communities during periods of economic downturn. Under conditions of extreme segregation, any increase in the overall rate of black poverty yields a marked increase in the geographic concentration of indigence and the deterioration of social and economic conditions in black communities. As ghetto residents adapt to this increasingly harsh environment under a climate of racial isolation, they evolve attitudes, behaviors, and practices that further marginalize their neighborhoods and undermine their chances of success in mainstream American society. This book is a sober challenge to those who argue that race is of declining significance in the United States today.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States’ racial landscape continues to be marred by pervasive patterns of structural segregation. In other words, our societal structure—that is, the patterns of relationships between entities within society and the arrangement of groups within society—continues to reflect the separation of Black and White individuals. Why have these patterns of structural segregation persisted over legal, economic, attitudinal and cultural shifts? What are the forces working to stagnate change? In this dissertation, I aim to shed light on processes that play a role in impeding progress towards a more integrated and accepting racial landscape. My research focuses on one set of perceptions, which prior research has established as important for maintaining the current racial landscape—people’s perceptions of other individual’s racial attitudes (for brief review see: Shelton & Richeson, 2006), and the factors that shape these perceptions. More specifically, I posit that the patterns of structural segregation in our society augment, and even instill the perception that other individuals prefer same-race to cross-race peers. To build towards this assertion, I draw on a sociocultural framework, which conceptualizes the relation between individuals and the surrounding cultural context. I then present data from three manuscripts, on the effects of structural segregation on children and adults perceptions of others’ racial attitudes. Paper 1 investigated the impacts of observing patterns of structural segregation in others’ friendship networks on 4- to 6-year-old children’s perceptions of who should and will be friends. Paper 2 focused on how patterns of structural segregation within schools influence 7- to 10-year-old children’s perceptions of others’ racial attitudes. Finally, Paper 3 focused on patterns of structural segregation within neighborhoods, and their effect on adults’ perceptions of others’ racial attitudes. Together, this dissertation provides insight into the ways in which people normalize and understand patterns of structural segregation. By shedding light on this process, we can hopefully gain a more holistic understanding of why progress towards a more racially egalitarian and integrated landscape is slower than what we might expect.
