Racism, racial equity, and the race-place connections related to racial inequalities in the U.S. are the major themes of this book. The long history of U.S. White racism toward Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians is deeply rooted in the political, socioeconomic, and intellectual frameworks of America, permitting racial inequities to become expressed as cultural landscapes—the places where many racial minorities exist. The contemporary geographic patterns of segregation and isolation are different from those of earlier U.S. history, but are equally damning and present extremely difficult challenges for social action in a nation that will change its racial/ethnic composition dramatically during the current generation.As America changes over the next quarter century, the visible and invisible race-place inequalities that help define U.S. urban geography will continue in housing, education, employment, travel requirements, shopping choices, environmental hazards, and other living conditions. Minority groups, ever increasing in numbers, will find inequalities unacceptable. How America deals with racial inequalities will likely have consequences for all its citizens.

An updated comprehensive assessment of how race and ethnicity affect the places we live, work, and visit. “This timely volume is a storehouse of knowledge that brings together a wide selection of scholars in a rigorous and comprehensive assessment of race, ethnicity, and place. The primacy of place in ethnic and racial discourse is resurrected in this volume.” — Professor Joseph Oppong, University of North Texas “The authors of this already successful ethnic geography book have updated their work in ways that snap with intellect. Many new chapters also enhance the themes of race, ethnicity, and place. The anthology’s rich, thoughtful analyses of the historical geographies of American minorities are like no other text. Carefully selected place-based examples of contemporary processes and patterns of race and ethnicity change the way we think about North American geographical experiences. This splendid transdisciplinary collection is essential reading for understanding the critical cultural motifs of the peopling of the continent.” — Professor Lawrence E. Estaville, Texas State University
