RACE AND RESIDENTIAL

SEGREGATION IN DETROIT11

* * *

by john powell and John Telford

powell and Telford offer a powerful commentary on how Detroit’s unprecedented racial transformation from a major U.S. city, with a moderate white majority population in the 1970s, to a highly segregated and substantial black majority population in the 1990s12 is directly linked to the production of concentrated poverty and, indeed, reflective of patterns of racial dynamics in housing and urban areas nationwide. Two key points of their analysis concern the determinative role of white discrimination in influencing the racial composition of residential areas and the recognition that segregation has marginalized the capacity of the city as an entity within broader state electoral politics. Powell and Telford also consider a number of economic and civic strategies by which urban areas can attempt to counteract the deleterious effects of racial segregation.
