Summary:

Creekridge Park is a multi-ethnic, mixed-income urban neighbourhood in Durham, North Carolina. To understand better what living in a multi-ethnic neighbourhood means to residents and what kind of interracial relationships they have, the author participated in neighbourhood events, conducted interviews, and surveyed the pseudonymous neighbourhood's black, white, and Latino households. While the evidence that residential segregation helps maintain racial inequality is well-established, the book demonstrates that the relationship between spatial proximity and equity is not fixed.

Contents:
