African American Ghettos:
Characterization and Typology
Abstract
This paper studies the phenomenon of African American ghettos in the US. A number of approaches to the study of this phenomenon are analyzed. The key factors for the appearance and disappearance of African American ghettos are considered. Based on statistical and historical data, 1,060 African American ghettos are identified. An original typology of these is proposed, which makes it possible to detect the disparity of the phenomenon in different regions of the country. The identified types are compared with the help of basic statistical indicators. The results show that the phenomenon of the African American ghetto is complex, spatially, socially and historically conditioned, with certain characteristic features that differ significantly within the US.
