It explains the workings of racism in a clear and understandable way. The book is organized in an orderly, logical way. The tables were very orderly showing the different metropolitan areas, degrees, and both races. This book somehow compares to The Southern Diaspora. The American Apartheid explains how the inner- city ghetto was initiated by whites, and how segregation was a big impact on the livings of African Americans. The Southern Diaspora focuses on the southern-out migration of blacks and whites. These two books focus on race, movement, and the problems of dislocation during the 20th century. They both show an association between races’ social, political and economic forces.

This book could be used to find out facts about segregation and the making of the underclass during the 20th century. This book has a lot of relevance to potential leaders, especially political, liberal, or conservative leaders. In my opinion, there should be no improvements, because this book is very well written, and
