Reviews

"[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
