PBPL 27105 - Housing Segregation in the United States

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the historical development of racially segregated metropolitan areas in the United States from the end of the nineteenth century to the present. We look at the historical roots of division along lines of race and class in spatial, as well as economic and cultural, terms. We discuss the impact of various phenomena (e.g., migration, economic shifts, housing legislation, changing social and cultural ideals) and notions of the "American dream." Our explorations cover metropolitan areas across the country, but include a special focus on the Midwest in general and Chicago in particular . T. Mah. Winter.
