It is well written and scholarly. --Arnold M. Rose, Political Science Quarterly Urban geographers and others concerned with changing spatial patterns of metropolitan populations should welcome this recent work by the Taeubers. --Harold M. Rose, Economic Geography This is an important book. It is not only a well-written report of highly competent research, but it also focuses upon the critical feature of the current racial scene in our cities--housing. . . .

It will be regarded as the definitive work to date on urban residential segregation by race. --Thomas F.
