The South Side: A Portait Of Chicago and American Segregation
A Portrait of Chicago and
American Segregation
by
Natalie Y. Moore
Paperback
Brief Description:
The author documents the various ways in which the racial segregation of Chicago's neighborhoods has come to define this Midwestern city. The author believes that institutional racism, more than the class of the city's residents, has made it difficult for African Americans to advance in life, as other groups have done historically.
