Urban Engagement Book Club: 'Poverty and Place: Ghettos, Barrios, and the American City'

Paul Jargowsky's book "documents the geographic spread of the nation's ghettos and shows how economic shifts have had a particularly devastating impact on certain regions, particularly in the "rust-belt" states of the Midwest. Paul Jargowsky's thoughtful analysis of the causes of ghetto formation clarifies the importance of widespread urban trends, particularly those changes in the labor and housing markets that have fostered income inequality and segregated the rich from the poor." -- Midwest Book Review
