Description
Book SynopsisWhen we think of segregation, what often comes to mind is apartheid South Africa, or the American South in the age of Jim Crow - two societies fundamentally premised on the concept of the separation of the races. In this title, the author shows us that segregation is everywhere, deforming cities and societies worldwide.
Trade Review"Most of us live in cities shaped in part by segregation, but urban segregation is usually studied in particular cases. Carl H. Nightingale adopts a world history perspective and ranges from Calcutta and Johannesburg to Chicago and other places. His book is a major contribution to both the study of segregation and comparative urban studies." -Chris Saunders, University of Cape Town"
