At a time when cities appear to be fragmenting mosaics of ethnic enclaves, it is reassuring to know there are still stable multicultural neighborhoods. Beyond Segregation offers a tour of some of America's best known multiethnic neighborhoods: Uptown in Chicago, Jackson Heights (Queens), and San Antonio-Fruitvale in Oakland. Readers will learn the history of the neighborhoods and develop an understanding of the people that reside in them, the reasons they stay, and the work it takes to maintain each neighborhood as an affordable, integrated place to live. Author note: Michael T. Maly is Associate Professor of Sociology at Roosevelt University in Chicago.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"[Maly's] analysis contradicts research and commonly held perceptions that integration efforts have been failures. . Highly recommended." Choice "Maly's study is one of tempered hope that multiethnicity can be achieved... This rich approach, however, draws a portrait of challenges and opportunities to which those working toward a truly integrated society can respond." Multicultural Review "Readers won't be disappointed in the detailed descriptions of the communities or the challenge to conventional thinking on this still volatile subject." Planning "Maly argues that many neighborhoods actually do achieve stable racial integration, and that high rates of immigration suggest that the populations of more and more places will diversify over time. He brings the concept of residential integration into the 21st century by looking closely at the dynamics of multiethnic, multiracial settings, and considering what these places teach us about relevant strategies for improving racial and ethnic relations in the post-Civil Rights era. Maly writes clearly and concisely, and the book is fun to read. Beyond Segregation offers an important corrective to our perceptions of U.S. cities as inevitably and perpetually racially divided." --Mara Sidney, author of Unfair Housing: How National Policy Shapes Community Action

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book on the growth of multiracial and multiethnic neighborhoods in the United States,
By JD (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond Segregation: Multiracial And Multiethnic Neighborhoods In The United States (Paperback)
This was an interesting book on multiracial and multiethnic neighborhoods in the United States. Unlike what has traditionally occurred in the past, Maly describes how many neighborhood today are experiencing stable integration, though such neighborhoods also typically face various challenges. The book focuses on three case studies: Uptown in Chicago, Jackson Heights in New York City, and San Antonio-Fruitvale in Oakland. His detailed description of these neighborhoods brings these issues to life.
