Publisher Synopsis
"Most of us live in cities shaped in part by segregation, but urban segregation is usually studied in particular cases. Carl H. Nightingale adopts a world history perspective and ranges from Calcutta and Johannesburg to Chicago and other places. His book is a major contribution to both the study of segregation and comparative urban studies." -Chris Saunders, University of Cape Town" Read more...
