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." The authors 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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Race discrimination|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Segregation|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 African Americans|xSocial conditions. 650 0 Inner cities|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Blacks|xSegregation. 651 0 United States|xRace relations. 651 0 United States|xSocial policy. 700 1 Denton, Nancy A. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12070394?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781977321145_180.jpeg
