""accessible, well-written, and thorough. . . . a great primer"" Ethnic and Racial Studies “In their book Segregation, Fong, Shibuya and Berry offer a concise, masterful, and eminently readable summary of social science knowledge about patterns, trends, causes, and consequences of social and spatial segregation in the world’s growing urban population. I highly recommend it.” Douglas S. Massey, Princeton University “Segregation offers a rigorous analysis, based on well-formulated models and rich empirical data, of the spatial arrangement of urban neighborhoods in modern multicultural cities. It explains what segregation is, how it is measured, and what consequences it produces from historical, contemporary, and comparative perspectives. The study sheds important light on how urban patterns are shaped by class, race, nativity or immigration status and make a valuable contribution to the fields of urban sociology, urban studies, and human geography.” Min Zhou, University of California, Los Angeles
