Document Summary
Sociology 2e06 race and ethnic group relations. Examining the relationship between spatial concentration of visible minorities and the growth of neighbourhood poverty. There are no ghettos in canada or australia. If they make up more than 2/3 of the neighbourhood, and 1/3 is forced into this area, this can be seen as a ghetto. Immigrant reception neighbourhood: often considered temporary neighbourhood, stepping stone on way to assimilation. Ethnic communities: a desired" end-result, formed through voluntary self-selection process. Ethno-burb: emerging ethnic concentrations in the suburbs formed via combination of immigrant enclaves and ethnic communities. Ghettos: formed through discrimination/exclusion, involuntary, members of ethnic or racial groups forced to reside there, this is very different from a traditional immigrant ethnic enclave, and usually does not involve immigrants. Multiple deprivation makes it more difficult to escape poverty (in red are effects at the neighbourhood levels, the other effects are at the individual level)
