Farley, Reynolds – Challenge: A Journal of Research on African American Men, 1994
Traces the development of black-white residential segregation in U.S. cities, and applies the views of Gunnar Myrdal, expressed in the 1940s, to housing trends in the 1980s. While such segregation has decreased, blacks remain more segregated than two other large minority groups (i.e., Hispanics and Asians). Forces influencing residential…

Banda, Felix – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2003
The initial motivation for the study was the view of multilingualism as a resource, in which all languages and literacies at the disposal of a learner are used for his/her benefit. In turn, interest was motivated by the notion of literacy practices as social practices linked to broader cultural and socioeconomic conditions (Street, 2001). Interest…

Fielding, Elaine L.; Taeuber, Karl – 1990
The movement of middle-class residents, especially blacks, out of inner-city neighborhoods has been hypothesized to contribute to the decay of the inner city and the growth of an underclass by increasing social isolation and depriving youth of role models. This study examines changes in patterns of racial and class segregation in the residential…

Schnare, Ann Burnet – 1978
The movement of the black population from rural to urban areas increased the potential for integration by ending the isolation of blacks on farms in the rural South.

FISCHER, JOHN H. – 1966
THE SCHOOLS OFFER THE GREATEST PROMISE FOR ACHIEVING RACIAL INTEGRATION IN AMERICAN SOCIETY. ALTHOUGH IT IS WRONG TO ARGUE THAT NO NEGRO SCHOOL IS GOOD UNLESS WHITE CHILDREN ARE BROUGHT INTO IT, THE FACT IS THAT SEGREGATED SCHOOLS DO PRODUCE A NEGATIVE SELF-IMAGE AND LOW MOTIVATION. COORECTIVE EFFORTS TO BALANCE THE SCHOOL RACIALLY MUST NOT BE…

Massey, Douglas S.; Fong, Eric – Social Forces, 1990
Elasticities generated from ecological regressions indicate a Black disadvantage, relative to Hispanics and Asians, in converting education and income into desirable residential outcomes in their neighborhoods. However, differences were less than those found in previous studies and those inferred from levels of segregation. Education was critical…

Maintains that the story of blacks in U.S. sports supports the theory that sports often mirror the larger society. Describes the life story of Tom Molineaux, a black boxer who achieved international recognition. Concludes that Molineaux should be regarded as the first U.S. black sports hero. (CFR)
