Restructuring and the Growth of Concentrated Poverty in Detroit.
Wilson, Carter A.
Urban Affairs Quarterly, v28 n2 p187-205 Dec 1992
Examines three theses that attempt to explain the rise of concentrated poverty and the growth of racial inequality in urban areas. Census data from 1970 and 1980 for Detroit (Michigan) provide the most support for the idea that economic decline and uneven economic growth are responsible. (SLD)
