Document Summary
Both parker and nightingale"s readings talk about the racism and segregation toward the african americans and low income working class in the us. This segregation created the white suburbs due to the restriction on plot developments in order to keep housing densities low and allow for construction of only expensive family type housings. Such land segregation with the influence of economic exclusion resulted in poverty, crime, low educational achievement and poor health, in return, creating a vicious circle of racism and poverty. It was everywhere as the former slave owning cities were finding new ways to attain political supremacy and this racial control was done through segregation. The greatest way this racial control was spread throughout the world in colonial countries like. The segregationists relied on powerful institutional connections. as this helped them import and export peoples, ideas and specific policy tools that were essential in dividing cities.
