Segregating Cities: An Arnold R. Hirsch Reader - Arnold R. Hirsch

Descriere Segregating Cities: An Arnold R. Hirsch Reader - Arnold R. Hirsch

Collects critical essays by the author of Making the Second Ghetto. \n Arnold R. Hirsch (1949-2018) was one of the preeminent urban historians of his generation, a reputation cemented by his landmark book, Making the Second Ghetto. With compelling clarity, Hirsch demonstrated that segregation is not the inevitable result of individual choices, natural tendencies, or cultural traits--it is a structural phenomenon, reinforced on every level by state power. \n \nSegregating Cities collects the author's key essays, some previously unpublished, to reveal a more complete picture of a remarkable scholar and his exploration of race, place, politics, and policy in the twentieth-century American city. Together, these essays can help us see segregation for what it is, so that we can then begin to truly work to overcome it.\n
