Why do Desmond and Emirbayer claim that âAfrican Americans are the only group in the history of the United States that have experienced ghettoizationâ (Desmond and Emirbayer 2016:189)? What defines a ghetto, for them?
- â”All society is implicated in the creation of the ghetto.â Reflecting on your upbringing, how might this statement apply to you? That is, how might you be contributing to the racial segregation and the reproduction of the ghetto?â (from Desmond and Emirbayer 2016:201).
