Separate Places: The Changing Shape of the American Metropolis 5. Rebuilding the American CityReviewsWhen the authors concluded the first edition with an optimistic appraisal of policy options that could alleviate poverty and inequality, they could not have known that the nation was on the cusp of a political and economic transformation that would greatly exacerbate existing inequalities. Therefore, this second edition is all the more welcome. Contemporary Sociology, January 2012 With this second edition of Separate Societies, Goldsmith and Blakely update their arguments from twenty years ago with new data and analyses of contemporary trends of increasing inequalities... Separate Societies remains a classic text, offering a solid overview of social and economic theories on the roots of poverty and inequality, and providing timely and comprehensive data. Goldsmith and Blakely do this admirably... As such, it remains an important tome on social, economic, and political stratification in the United States for both those new to the material and those relatively familiar with it... [T]he authors provide much food for thought to inspire yet another generation of policymakers, planners, and scholars in their pursuit of ending poverty in the United States.
