Anotace knihy

This study investigates race-related challenges in §Oak Park, Illinois, a metropolitan Chicago community §nationally known for achieving long-term racial §diversity. Since its 1968 Open Housing Ordinance, §Oak Park has maintained white residential demand, an §achievement elusive to most communities facing §racial change. However, despite its racial§stability, this study argues that Oak Park faces§several racial roadblocks to successful diversity. §In-depth interviews with forty Oak Park households,§half black, half white, indicate these roadblocks§create a color line in which black and white§residents experience the community in some§fundamentally different ways. The study s findings§and recommendations have relevance beyond the Oak§Park community. As growing racial and ethnic§diversity characterize the 21st century American§experience, it is essential that new strides occur in§eradicating the residential segregation that §persists in many of our nation s metropolitan §areas. Communities desiring successful long-term§diversity will find the study s unique insights§valuable when striving toward this vital national§goal.
