TOC: Segregation: A Global History of Divided Cities

Segregation brings to mind apartheid South Africa or the American South in the age of Jim Crow—societies premised on racial separation. But as Carl H. Nightingale shows us in our free e-book for November, segregation is everywhere, deforming cities and societies worldwide. Segregation: A Global History of Divided Cities journeys back to archaeological evidence of segregation’s ancient roots, courses through the era of European colonialism, to the aggressive segregation movements of the twentieth century, and ends in Johannesburg and Chicago. Segregation tours our divided world. Get it free in November at http://www.press.uchicago.edu/books/freeEbook.html
