La conferencia "¿Muros o puentes?: visiones alternativas de la integración regional en Norteamérica y Europa", pronunciada por el profesor Douglas Massey compara el funcionamiento y las consecuencias de los dos modelos de integración regional que existen en el mundo: el modelo europeo y el modelo norteamericano. Según el profesor Massey, el modelo europeo es comprehensivo y tiene objetivos sociales, políticos y culturales, y no sólo económicos. Por el contrario, el modelo norteamericano es limitado y tiene fines estrictamente económicos, con poco interés en cuestiones sociales, políticas o culturales. ; The conference "Walls or Bridges: Alternative Visions of Regional Integration in North America and Europe", delivered by Professor Douglas Massey compares the functioning and consequences of the two regional integration models that exist in the world: the European model and the American model. According to Professor Massey, the European model is comprehensive and has social objectives, political and cultural, and not just economic. On the contrary, the American model is limited and has strictly economic purposes, with little interest in issues social, political or cultural.

RESUMEN En este artículo se establecen relaciones teóricas y analíticas entre la segregación social urbana y el grupo étnico africano americano, resaltando los niveles de pobreza y de violencia que vive esta población. Se demuestra como cualquier proceso social que concentra pobreza también, también concentra crimen y violencia, creando un nicho ecológico caracterizado por un alto riesgo de daño físico, muerte violenta y victimización criminal. Se concluye con una interesante reflexión sobre las políticas de intervención, señalando que de continuar el ciclo de violencia que existe, con una política de intervención desegregacionista cada vez más remota, se perpetuaran los múltiples problemas creados por la coincidencia de la pobreza negra y la segregación. ABSTRACT This article establishes the theoretical and analytical relationships between urban social segregation and the African American ethnic group, highlighting the levels of poverty and violence that this population experiences. The autor demonstrates how any social process that concentrates poverty, also concentrates crime and violence, creating an ecological niche characterized by high risk of physical injury, violent death and criminal victimization. The article concludes with and interesting reflection about public policy, indicating that if violent cycle that exists continues without a political intervention of desegregation, the multiple problems created by the coincidence of black poverty and segregation will be perpetuared.

Somewhere in the 1970s liberals in the United States lost their way. After successes like the New Deal, they became arrogant. So argues Douglas Massey in Return of the ""L"" Word. Faced with the difficult politics of race and class, liberals used the heavy hand of government to impose policies on a resentful public. Conservatives capitalized on this with a staunch ideology of free markets, limited government, and conservative social values. The time is ripe for a liberal realignment, declares Massey, but what has been lacking is a consistent liberal ideology that explains to voters
