  • Integration Without Assimilation: Black Social Life in a Diverse Suburb
    Integration without Assimilation: Black Social Life in a Diverse Suburb A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Sociology of the College of Arts and Sciences by Alan V. Grigsby July 19, 2018 MA, Ohio University August 2012 Committee Chair: Jeffrey M. Timberlake, PhD ABSTRACT The face of cities and suburbs has changed. The majority of Americans now live in suburbs and today’s suburbs are becoming more racially diverse than ever before. However, most research on this topic is limited to quantitative research designs that cannot fully ascertain the quality of race relations in this changing landscape. My research uses an ethnographic approach to investigate social life in one racially diverse suburb of Cleveland, OH: Shaker Heights. Specifically, I investigate how African Americans who occupy this space—as residents, employees, and visitors—think about, describe, and participate in social life in a diverse suburb. After two years of ethnographic fieldwork, I conclude that, although Shaker Heights is statistically integrated, the residential spaces and social lives of black adults do not reflect this demographic reality. Moreover, black adults interpret the rare, discrete instances where racial diversity is promoted as inauthentic. Finally, my research explores connections and commonalities among the black adults living in the segregated sections of Shaker Heights. This information will help scholars better understand dynamics of race relations in a neighborhood context that is both seldom explored and growing in demographic importance. ii Copyright 2018, by Alan V.

    Awarded Theses 2016/2017 Richard Raber Staking Out a Place Amidst Shifting Soils Understanding Contemporary South Africa Through Social Memory EMA, The European Master’s Programme in Human Rights and Democratisation RICHARD RABER STAKING OUT A PLACE AMIDST SHIFTING SOILS UNDERSTANDING CONTEMPORARY SOUTH AFRICA THROUGH SOCIAL MEMORY RICHARD RABER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Arriving in South Africa in mid-2015, little did I know that this country would soon both capture me and feel like home. Here I am, in July 2017, completing my Master’s thesis centring around the pulse of the nation. I suppose it is true, unyawo alunampumlo, your feet have no nose. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who helped make this work possible. Firstly, thank you to uGogo Sizani Ngubane, without her I would never have come to South Africa in the first place. She continues to be a model of hard-work, creativity, leadership and integrity. Secondly, thank you to all the interviewees for their time and honesty. Without all of you, this work would not have been possible. I would also like to thank all that have engaged me in enthralling conversations about South Africa’s contemporary political dynamics. This begins with everyday strangers in taxis to close friends of mine, particularly uMchana Lwandile Noludwe, Pearl Lebogang Nicodemus, Thalib ‘Dada’ Mugen, Sobantu Mzwakali, Ntska Mateta and Tshepo Diseko. Moreover, I feel very fortunate to have friends that are willing to read and honestly critique my work, this includes those just mentioned but also Sergio ‘Satélite’, Manvinder Gill, Francesco Fanti Rovetta, Alexander Gowrliuk, Emma Douglas, Zak ‘Tommie Boi’ Johnson, Nereya Otieno and Ari ‘IQ’ East.
