Attitude ; Blacks ; Ethnic community ; Florida ; Housing ; Miami ; Preference ; Residential location ; Segregation ; Social status ; United States of America ; Urban district
Significant housing discrimination against Blacks continues to exist in Miami. Blacks live in neighborhoods that are not nearly as segregated by socioeconomic status as are Hispanic and non-Hispanic White neighborhoods. They live in predominantly
Black neighborhoods because they feel unwelcome in White neighborhoods and they fear housing discrimination in the latter. The continued residential concentration of Blacks in these neighborhoods of mixed socioeconomic status results in a bidding up
of the price of housing that is left for the less affluent Blacks.

Although initial reports of increased black suburbanization in the 1970s generated some optimism that the United States was entering a new era of racial integration with a decline in discrimination, the preponderance of evidence suggests
a continuation of limited black access to better-endowed, more desirable communities throughout the metropolis. The AA. examine the extent to which racially defined residential patterns have changed over the last decade in various regions of the country.

geographies (here referred to as “the black necropolis”) that the state aims to counteract in its war against the black urban poor. Yet, within the context of necropolitical governance, blackness appears as a spatially grounded praxis that enables victims
This article analyses necropolitical governance and Black spatial praxis in São Paulo, Brazil. It demonstrates that space matters as a deadly tool through which police killings, economic marginalization, and mass incarceration produce the very
of state terror to reclaim their placeless location as a political resource for redefining themselves and the polis.

This work is devoted to an assessment of the role of sea coasts in the change of its ecological state because up till now the majority of researchers considered the influence of quantitative and qualitative changes of the river runoff produced
by the economic activities to be decisive. In a number of areas the ecological state of the coastal waters is almost completely determined by the inflow of pollutants from coasts.

Blacks ; Community ; Household ; Internal migration ; Large city ; Metropolitan area ; Social geography ; United States of America
This article examines the role of metropolitan opportunity structures for understanding variation in the rate of Black household affluence. Results fail to suggest evidence regarding the role of the ‘new South’ for understanding metropolitan-level
rates of Black affluence. More generally, findings from this study challenge our understanding of socioeconomic stratification by investigating diversity within America’s Black community.
