Antisuburban orthodoxy permeates much of the literature on US urban life & the status of suburbia, & presents suburbanites as affluent conformists trying to avoid responsibility for the problems of the central city. Here, biases of antisuburban scholars in their discussion of urban & suburban economics, classes, races, & politics are identified, & it is argued that "suburb-bashing" serves the political values of nonacademics & academics alike. In What, Me Hate the Suburbs? The Irrelevance of Anti-Suburban Orthodoxy, Max Neiman (U of California, Riverside) agrees that some scholars remain antisuburban, but insists that more contemporary treatments are more balanced, recognizing that the diversity of current suburbs renders blanket criticism of suburbia antiquated. In Blaming the Suburbs?, John R. Logan (State U of New York, Albany) contends that Hawkins & Perry have not presented any evidence to support their accusations that suburb-bashing is the predominant theme of urban research, nor any criteria by which others could evaluate urban researchers for their alleged biases against suburbs. The affluent, white, middle-class suburb is a myth that no one believes in anymore. In Rejoinder to Neiman and Logan Hawkins & Percy contend that the effects of antisuburban orthodoxy still persist, & central cities have yet to be examined under the same scrutiny applied to suburbs. 66 References.

A standard interpretation of the intensification of segregation in the early twentieth century is that residents of Northern cities reacted against a growing African American presence, using segregation as a tool of social control that was less needed in the South. Evidence from newly available data for 134 cities in 1900–1940 puts this interpretation in question in several ways. We find that segregation was already high in 1900 at the neighborhood scale. Not only was it rising, but it was changing its spatial scale as clusters of Black settlement in side streets and alleys disappeared from White districts while expanding into large Black zones. Finally, multivariate analyses show that trends were similar in the North and South, and in neither region was Black population size (i.e., "Black threat") a significant predictor of increasing segregation. The general trends of rising segregation and increasing spatial scale became a nationwide pattern.

This edited volume brings together leading researchers from the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe to look at the processes leading to segregation and its implications. With a methodological focus, the book explores new methods and data sources that can offer fresh perspectives on segregation in different contexts. It considers how the spatial patterning of segregation might be best understood and measured, outlines some of the mechanisms that drive it, and discusses its possible social outcomes. Ultimately, it demonstrates that measurements and concepts of segregation must keep pace with a changing world. This volume will be essential reading for academics and practitioners in human geography, sociology, planning and public policy
