Barriers to Integration: Institutionalized Boundaries and the Spatial Structure of Residential Segregation*
Barriers to Integration: Institutionalized Boundaries and the Spatial Structure of Residential Segregation* Elizabeth Roberto Princeton University Jackelyn Hwang Princeton University Abstract Despite modest declines in residential segregation levels since the Civil Rights Era, segregation remains a defining feature of the U.S. landscape. We use population data and corresponding shapefiles from the 2010 decennial census and a novel approach to measuring and analyzing segregation that allows us to incorporate physical barriers and municipal boundaries. We show how physical barriers in urban space and municipal boundaries that separate central cities from surrounding suburbs contribute to higher levels of residential segregation across 14 U.S. cities. The findings demonstrate an important mechanism that exacerbates residential segregation for city residents and contributes to its persistence. Keywords: segregation, boundaries, race and ethnicity, cities, methods * Direct correspondence to Elizabeth Roberto, Department of Sociology, Princeton University, 108 Wallace Hall, Princeton, NJ 08544; email: [email protected].

Barriers to Integration: Institutionalized Boundaries and the Spatial Structure of Residential Segregation A long line of research shows that residential segregation by race—the extent to which racial groups reside in distinct places—plays an important role in perpetuating racial stratification in the U.S. -

Essays on Zionism and the Palestinians by Reviewed by Anne Norton
Institute for Palestine Studies | Journals Journal of Palestine Studies issue 142, published in Winter 2007 Massad: The Persistence of the Palestinian Question: Essays on Zionism and the Palestinians by Reviewed by Anne Norton The Palestinian, The Jew The Persistence of the Palestinian Question: Essays on Zionism and the Palestinians, by Joseph A. Massad. New York: Routledge, 2006. x + 178 pages. Notes to p. 214. Index to p. 218. $125.00 cloth; $35.95 paper. Reviewed by Anne Norton The title of this book does not do justice to the contribution this book makes to the history of Zionism, Israel, and the Jews. Massad’s brilliant and scholarly work is profoundly illuminating not only for the history of Palestine and the discourses surrounding it, but for the history of Europe and the United States and, finally, as an account that raises compelling theoretical questions. The Palestinian question is important enough to command attention in its own right: the politics of half a century have been moved by shockwaves from this epicenter of conflict. Massad offers invaluable information drawn from an array of carefully documented sources coupled with superb political and historical analysis that contributes directly to the study of Palestine. The core of the work is a careful and compelling articulation of the interdependence of Palestinian and Jewish histories, especially manifest in the dual project of Zionism. Readers within and outside the academy have long recognized the centrality and intensity of the Zionist effort to reshape Jewish subjectivity, creating a “new Jew” to inhabit the anticipated Jewish state. The Israeli of their hopes was to be strong, willful, and landed, capable of self- determination, self-defense, and self-provision. -
Palestinian Citizens of Israel: Agenda for Change Hashem Mawlawi
Palestinian Citizens of Israel: Agenda for Change Hashem Mawlawi Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master‘s degree in Conflict Studies School of Conflict Studies Faculty of Human Sciences Saint Paul University © Hashem Mawlawi, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 PALESTINIAN CITIZENS OF ISRAEL: AGENDA FOR CHANGE ii Abstract The State of Israel was established amid historic trauma experienced by both Jewish and Palestinian Arab people. These traumas included the repeated invasion of Palestine by various empires/countries, and the Jewish experience of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust. This culminated in the 1948 creation of the State of Israel. The newfound State has experienced turmoil since its inception as both identities clashed. The majority-minority power imbalance resulted in inequalities and discrimination against the Palestinian Citizens of Israel (PCI). Discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict tends to assume that the issues of the PCIs are the same as the issues of the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories. I believe that the needs of the PCIs are different. Therefore, I have conducted a qualitative case study into possible ways the relationship between the PCIs and the State of Israel shall be improved. To this end, I provide a brief review of the history of the conflict. I explore themes of inequalities and models for change. I analyze the implications of the theories for PCIs and Israelis in the political, social, and economic dimensions. From all these dimensions, I identify opportunities for change. In proposing an ―Agenda for Change,‖ it is my sincere hope that addressing the context of the Israeli-Palestinian relationship may lead to a change in attitude and behaviour that will avoid perpetuating the conflict and its human costs on both sides. -

(December 2009) Jamil Djonie, B. S, Parahyangan Catholic University, Indonesia Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shannon Van Zandt Urban racial segregation has been a problem to many U.S. cities. Many researchers have interested on the urban segregation issues since long time ago. To understand and plan a better community, urban planners needs to know how to measure the segregation and interpret the results. However, over the past several decades, many scientists have proposed many types of urban segregation measures. Although a few of them are commonly used nowadays, this doesn’t mean the other measures are not appropriate. Disregarding the fact that some of the measures are mostly used or easily calculated this paper attempts to gather many of the proposed and the most discussed measures for comparison. -

Down with Britain, Away with Zionism: the 'Canaanites'
DOWN WITH BRITAIN, AWAY WITH ZIONISM: THE ‘CANAANITES’ AND ‘LOHAMEY HERUT ISRAEL’ BETWEEN TWO ADVERSARIES Roman Vater* ABSTRACT: The imposition of the British Mandate over Palestine in 1922 put the Zionist leadership between a rock and a hard place, between its declared allegiance to the idea of Jewish sovereignty and the necessity of cooperation with a foreign ruler. Eventually, both Labour and Revisionist Zionism accommodated themselves to the new situation and chose a strategic partnership with the British Empire. However, dissident opinions within the Revisionist movement were voiced by a group known as the Maximalist Revisionists from the early 1930s. This article analyzes the intellectual and political development of two Maximalist Revisionists – Yonatan Ratosh and Israel Eldad – tracing their gradual shift to anti-Zionist positions. Some questions raised include: when does opposition to Zionist politics transform into opposition to Zionist ideology, and what are the implications of such a transition for the Israeli political scene after 1948? Introduction The standard narrative of Israel’s journey to independence goes generally as follows: when the British military rule in Palestine was replaced in 1922 with a Mandate of which the purpose was to implement the 1917 Balfour Declaration promising support for a Jewish ‘national home’, the Jewish Yishuv in Palestine gained a powerful protector. In consequence, Zionist politics underwent a serious shift when both the leftist Labour camp, led by David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), and the rightist Revisionist camp, led by Zeev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky (1880-1940), threw in their lot with Britain. The idea of the ‘covenant between the Empire and the Hebrew state’1 became a paradigm for both camps, which (temporarily) replaced their demand for a Jewish state with the long-term prospect of bringing the Yishuv to qualitative and quantitative supremacy over the Palestinian Arabs under the wings of the British Empire.
