Funded by a grant from the Andrew Mellon foundation, the 10 studies in this book look at the impact of immigration on African American communities and racial and ethnic relations. Topics of the studies include: the residential segregation of Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, 1970-1990; the politics of Black-Korean conflict in New York City; immigrants, Puerto Ricans, and the earnings of native Black males; labor market dynamics and the effects of immigration on African Americans; legislative redistricting and African American interests; and coalition formation: the Mexican-origin community and Latinos and African Americans. Jaynes is professor of economics and African American studies at Yale University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
