Synopsis

This collection of original essays takes a new look at race in urban spaces by highlighting the intersection of the physical separation of minority groups and the social processes of their marginalization. Race, Space, and Exclusion provides a dynamic and productive dialogue among scholars of racial exclusion and segregation from different perspectives, theoretical and methodological angles, and social science disciplines. This text is ideal for upper-level undergraduate or lower-level graduate courses on housing policy, urban studies, inequalities, and planning courses.

Media Reviews
'Editors Adelman and Mele have included very provocative readings that analyze how black-white racial residential segregation persists, resulting in spatial and social exclusion that continues to reinforce racial inequality... In summary, the readings were generally interesting and thought provoking with emphasis on how racial segregation has evolved into a new form, how it feels to residents, and how racial inequality can be challenged in the contemporary US. Summing up: Recommended'-P. J. Venturelli, Valparaiso University, CHOICE Reviews
