“…This aggregation (or synthesising) can have negative consequences on the formulation of social policy (Gans, 1990). Other authors have also attacked the use of the term underclass' on different grounds (see, for example, Jencks, 1992;Morris, 1993;Fainstein, 1993).

Summary. As an introduction to this special issue on ethnic segregation in cities, we offer the readers an overview of the explanatory factors of ethnic segregation and spatial concentration in modern welfare states. After a discussion of the disadvantages and advantages of segregation and concentration, which can be seen as the impetus behind the widespread interest in this topic, we will brie¯y review som e`traditional' theories. That review will be followed by a closer look at behavioural theories and explanations in which constraints are central. The next section will elaborate on restructuring processes, giving special attention to economic change and its effects on cities, groups and spatial arrangements. W e will conclude this introduction with a few remarks on the future of ethnic segregation and concentration and outline some possible directions for future research in this ® eld.

“…Thus although Wilson begins his explanatory account of the new ghetto with the major economic and social changes that are often characterized as the advent of post-Fordism, he also directs explanation for changes in the role of the ghetto to narrower issues of demographics and population movement. And that has unleashed its own controversy, for some have argued that the out-migration he references is largely a chimera, and that middle-class blacks remain segregated within black ghettos as much as poor blacks (see, e.g., Massey and Denton, 1993: 8;Fainstein, 1993).…”

“…As part of his post-racial approach and appeal, Obama avoided the term racism in his campaign until he was forced to talk about race. And in that silly speech on race that some have heralded and likened to speeches by Malcolm and Martin, he said Revered Wright's statements "expressed a profoundly distorted view of this country-a view that sees white racism as endemic…" 7 and classified them as "divisive," when they were in fact, realistic, and backed up by reams of social science data (Fainstein 2002).…”
