ethnicity-based, and class-based interaction patterns in our society.

For this discussion, answer the following
questions.

Douglas S. Massey highlights the persistence of residential segregation in
American society. What does Massey mean when he states that “barriers to
spatial mobility are barriers to social mobility” (p. 159)?

for different minority groups? What are the consequences of these patterns for
segregated communities and groups and for society as a whole? Discuss these
patterns and suggest potential solutions to reduce residential segregation of
minority communities. Relate
your response to Chapter 21 in Rethinking the Color Line or to Chapters
5–7 in Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class.
