dc.description.abstract | An immense body of work already exists with respect to
the relationship between race and the modern landscape which
demonstrates the depths of the racial dimension of America’s
urban development. Statistics show that in the decades since
the Civil Rights Movement, segregation and particularly the
hyper-segregation of whites has grown. Distance between racial
groups is evident in practically every area of social life, from
housing, employment, and education to health, political access
and representation, and involvement with the criminal justice
system. Over a century of de jure white supremacy in the United
States has effectively resulted, in keeping with the 1968 prediction
of the Kerner Commission, in “two societies, one black, one white
– separate and unequal.” Racialized residential discrimination and
the struggles both to enact and dismantle it have had an extremely
influential effect on America’s degeneration into its standard form
of a racially-dual society. | eng |
