2 segregation in the United States (Taeuber and Taeuber, 1965: 28-64).
Residential segregation limits the possibilities for contaets between
whites and blaeks, and as a result, deereases the potential for social
unity. Resi- dential segregation has been seen to lead to a sense of
eonfinement among ghetto residents which exaeerbates alI the other
problems that affeet these neighborhoods. As a result, the spatial
separation of the raees has been viewed as a serious threat to the
stability of the society (U. S. National Advisory Commission on Civil
Disorders, 1968: vii). Spatial separation also leads to other specific
problems sueh as de laclo sehool segregation, while segregated sehools
have been declared inherently unequal. Furthermore, the movement of
blaeks to the suburbs that has oecurred in 2 recent years has not led to
decreased patterns of isolation. Instead, this shift has refleeted an
expansion of existing ghetto areas aeross city bounda- ries. For
example, Cleveland's black ghetto has expanded into and through East
Cleveland which is a distinct municipality; (see Arthur D. Little, 1969)
and Washington, D. C. 's ghetto has expanded northeast into suburban
Prinee Georges County (Zehner and Chapin, 1974). 3 Glantz and Delaney
(1973) in a study of 14 ofthe 18largest metropolitan are as, found that
the degree of segregation of blacks within particular suburban
municipalities had not changed much between 1969 and 1970. Blacks were
coneentrated in the same suburban eommunities in 1970 as in 1960.
